Test & Measurement

In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz has successfully verified an A-GPS control-plane LPP test session over 5G NR using a device powered by the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and Qualcomm RF Front-end solutions.

Pico Technology has introduced the PicoScope 9404-16 SXRTO, a 16 GHz sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope at what it describes as “an even more compelling low price point”. The new model joins the 5GHz 9404-05 model launched earlier this year.

The latest line of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) from Spectrum Instrumentation is based on the LXI instrumentation standard and has been created for engineers and scientists that need to simultaneously generate up to 16 precise electronic signals. Small and compact, the units are ideal in automated testing or remote-control type applications.

5G network emulation solutions from Keysight Technologies deliver a leading number of 5G new radio (NR) protocol conformance test cases validated by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) and PTCRB, a certification forum consisting of leading U.S. mobile operators.

Following its launch in the spring of this year, Rigol Technologies’ MSO8000 series is now fully available. With bandwidths from 600MHz, 1GHz and 2GHz (BW usable for 2 channel) and a maximum sampling rate of 10GS/s, the MSO8000 series is ideally suited for high speed and instantaneous signal acquisition and analysis.

CommAgility has announced that it is supporting VIAVI Solutions in their 5G TM500 network tester. The TM500 is a scalable test system for validating the performance of cellular networks, including 3GPP 4G, 4.5G, and 5G. The system tests network performance as experienced by end users, across multiple cells and different radio access technologies.

Microlease has invested $10 million on test equipment for the emerging 5G mobile communications standard in the past 12 months. In total the company has spent $30 million increasing its entire 5G testing inventory to meet growing demand from equipment manufacturers and mobile network operators.

Following the recent Conformance Agreement Group (CAG) #59 meeting, Keysight Technologies now supports a leading number of 5G new radio (NR) conformance radio frequency (RF) test cases validated by the Global Certification Forum (GCF).

Autotalks, a supplier of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication solutions and China’s Datang, which develops C-V2X communications standards and the provider of system solution of C-V2X，have successfully tested chipset-level interoperability of their respective solutions for C-V2X direct communication.

Keysight Technologies says that Fibocom Wireless has selected the company's 5G network emulation solutions to accelerate development and validation of 5G new radio (NR) modules for the PC market. Fibocom, China's first publicly listed wireless module provider, selected Keysight's 5G RF DVT Toolset to support its strategic goal of supplying connected mobile ecosystems with commercial 5G-powered internet of things (IoT) modules.
