News for the last month

The theme for World Metrology Day 2021 is Measurement for Health. This theme was chosen to create awareness of the important role measurement plays in health, and thus in the wellbeing of every one of us.

The new R&S NRP67S and R&S NRP67SN power sensors introduce a frequency range unprecedented in a diode power sensor, reaching from 50 MHz all the way up to 67 GHz. Combined with the advantages of the unique Rohde & Schwarz three-path diode technology, a wide dynamic range from -70 dBm to 20 dBm, and a high measurement speed of 10,000 measurements per second, users benefit from extremely fast power measurements with unsurpassed accuracy and dynamic range previously not possible at these frequencies.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that NewRadio Technology Co., Ltd. has selected Keysight's advanced signal source and analyzer measurement solutions to speed validation of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology.

Yokogawa Electric Corporation announced the release of CENTUM™ VP R6.08, an enhanced version of the CENTUM VP integrated production control system for industrial plants. CENTUM VP is a core product in the OpreX™ Control and Safety System solutions family.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced three new Source Measure Units (SMUs) for test applications that require high accuracy, high resolution and measurement flexibility, including current-voltage (I-V) characterizing and testing semiconductors, as well as other non-linear devices and materials.

Texas Instruments (TI) released a major advancement in electric vehicle (EV) battery management systems (BMS) – the industry’s highest-performing solution for wireless BMS, featuring the first independently assessed functional safety concept. Through an advanced wireless protocol with the industry’s best network availability, TI’s wireless BMS solution demonstrates how vehicle designers can remove heavy, expensive, maintenance-prone cabling and improve the reliability and efficiency of EVs worldwide.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that MRT, a provider of radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) certification services, has selected Keysight's 5G test solutions for regulatory testing of 5G devices.

The R&S ZNH handheld vector network analyzer helps detect and remedy defective RF cables and communications system components. It can also characterize components up to 26.5 GHz in the field and lab. The R&S ZNH comes standard with essential functions, such as cable and antenna measurements and full 2-port S-parameter measurements.

Anritsu Company announces a collaborative agreement with Milliwave Silicon Solutions, Inc. whereby the VectorStar™ vector network analyzers (VNAs) are compatible with the MilliBox millimeter-wave (mmWave) anechoic chambers and positioners.
