Rohde & Schwarz has designed the R&S CMW270 as a flexible communications tester that can handle applications well beyond classic cellular mobile radio. As a cost-effective solution for development and production, the tester is capable of handling WiMAXTM plus WLAN, Bluetooth®, GPS and various broadcasting standards. With the R&S CMW270, Rohde & Schwarz keeps pace with the trend toward integrated wireless communications solutions in laptops, netbooks and game consoles. The tester can be equipped with additional technologies to accommodate specific requirements. It is a preconfigured version of the R&S CMW500 multitechnology platform and can be upgraded to full functionality when the need arises.

Rohde & Schwarz is enhancing its R&S CONTEST test software by adding end-to-end tests on mobile phones under real-world receive conditions. The software runs on the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and the R&S TS8980 RF test system. It enables network operators and manufacturers of mobile phones to perform automated measurements of data throughput and voice communications quality at cell boundaries or under fading influences. In addition, both test platforms can be used for other measurements required by the specification.

The high-end R&S ZVA67 vector network analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz is now also available as a four-port model. This is the first network analyzer on the market to feature four test ports for measurements up to 67 GHz. Its high dynamic range (110 dB at 67 GHz) and output power (6 dBm at 67 GHz) give the R&S ZVA67 the flexibility and performance required for characterizing components and modules in the microwave and millimeter-wave range. It allows users in research and development to determine the S parameters of multiport devices quickly and with high precision. As an extra benefit, the analyzer's four internal signal sources reduce test system complexity and the number of instruments required, e.g. for measuring frequency-converting DUTs, because no external signal generators are needed.
