Failure to identify infrequent events when debugging waveforms can cost engineering teams a lot of time and money later in the development cycle.

At CES 2023 in Las Vegas, from January 5 to January 8, 2023, in West Hall at booth 6757, Rohde & Schwarz will be showcasing a variety of automotive radar and ultra-wideband testing solutions.

Löhnert Elektronik and Rohde & Schwarz released an automated turnkey system for bumper production radar transparency testing established on its R&S QAR50. The announced R&S QAR50-R enables direct positioning of measurement antennas for quick, precise, and accessible testing.

Munich. Rohde & Schwarz released its new R&S NRP90S and R&S NRP90SN power sensors with a frequency scale of 50 MHz to 90 GHz, dynamic range from -70 dBm to 20 dBm, and speeds of 50,000 measurements per second.

Cubtek Inc. with assistance from Rohde & Schwarz’s network analyzers (R&SZVA) are progressing the innovation of 4D imaging radar for RF measurement of the E-band utilizing the  R&SZVA-Zxxx millimeterwave converter. Employing the NXP’s S32R45 radar MPU and RFCMOS radar transceiver TEF82XX, the 4D imaging radar platform has enough bandwidth for 12 output and 16 input 77GHz antenna channels. With MMO technology, the virtual antennas can increase to 192.

To further exploit the huge potential of 5G, the wireless industry has continued to develop the standard up to Release 16, and development continues. But technology does not stand still, and even as 5G presses forward, a new generation of cellular technology is emerging. Cutting-edge 6G research is already underway at communications equipment manufacturers and research institutions, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) is a major area of interest in 6G research. Rohde & Schwarz, with Tsinghua University and Actenna Technology, recently completed an evaluation and trial of RIS technology to comprehensively evaluate the effects and performance of RIS deployment.

Oscilloscopes are a necessary part of any EE’s workbench. Modern oscilloscopes can accelerate – or, in some cases, make possible – EMI debugging, RF and power analysis, logic and serial debugging, waveform generation, and more across the gamut of electronic systems and components. But, not all ‘scopes are created equal, even within the same performance category.
