With R&S BCDRIVE, broadcast transmitter operators can now also measure network coverage with drive tests. This solution even enables them to determine network coverage in parallel for multiple broadcasting channels, which significantly reduces measurement times.

The R&S®ZVH-K42 vector network analysis application and R&S®ZVH-K45 vector voltmeter measurement application add vector network analysis measurement capabilities and a vector voltmeter to the R&S®ZVH4 / R&S®ZVH8 handheld cable and antenna analyzers.

The new R&S®FSH-K44E measurement application makes R&S®FSH4/R&S®FSH8 handheld spectrum analyzers ready for 3GPP WCDMA BTS/Node B code domain power measurements.

Rohde & Schwarz has released a new firmware version for ZVA series network analyzers. Version 2.80 adds new measurement features empowering ZVA including support for option R&S ZVAX-B203, Low-Noise Preamplifier.

The R&S®ZNB and R&S®ZNC from Rohde & Schwarz inaugurate a new generation of vector network analyzers. The network analyzers cover the frequency ranges from 9 kHz to 3 GHz, 4.5 GHz or 8.5 GHz. Both the R&S®ZNB and the R&S®ZNC have a large touchscreen that offers plenty of space for results, displaying even extensive measurements in a clear and straightforward manner.

Rohde & Schwarz announced two new options for the R&S®DVMS compact DTV monitoring system enabling monitoring and analysis of DVB-T2 signals.

Rohde & Schwarz adds new functions to its R&S BBA100 broadband amplifier family to create a one-box solution. The R&S BBA100 is now offers RF output switches and an RF sample switch in addition to an RF input switch. It is also possible to integrate up to two additional third-party amplifiers.

The new R&S TS6710 test system from Rohde & Schwarz is a highly flexible, turnkey standard solution for manufacturers of AESA radar equipment. New system can characterize the 25,000 measurement results of a transmitter-receiver module (TRM) in less than four minutes. The frequency range extends from 1 Hz to 24 GHz.

With the addition of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) simulator to the field-proven R&S SMBV100A this flexible, multi-purpose vector signal generator can now generate customized scenarios for GPS and Galileo from up to 12 satellites in realtime. Users can quickly and easily define their own scenarios to test GNSS receivers under a variety of conditions.

Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced its R&S® CMW500 multistandard platform and now offers options for testing the handover between LTE and 1xEV-DO networks. All tests are carried out in line with the 3GPP2 enhanced high-rate packet data (eHRPD) specifications.
