Radiocommunications tester takes HSDPA onboard
The CMU200 is the world's first and only radiocommunications tester with HSDPA functionalities already implemented.
It is a single-standard instrument specifically designed for production applications.
The compact SFE broadcast tester is a versatile and cost-efficient multi-standard generator for a wide variety of applications in the lab, in service, and in the factory.
The multistandard R and S SFU broadcast test system that offers comprehensive simulation and analysis functions is a high-end instrument for complex applications in development.
With this line-up, Rohde and Schwarz offers the right generator for any broadcast signal generation task.
The same look and feel of each instrument's user interface makes it easy to switch between them.
The R and S SFE100 is a test transmitter used during the production of broadcasting terminal equipment.
It delivers an attractive price/performance ratio and combines an RF signal generator, power amplifier, and baseband generator in a single instrument.
As a single-standard test transmitter, the R and S SFE100 is available in several models for all common TV standards and many sound broadcasting standards.
It uses real-time coding or operates as an arbitrary waveform generator.
Its integrated power amplifier makes the instrument especially suitable for use in production test systems.
The R and S SFE100 is an easy to use, cost-efficient broadcast signal source but it can also be used for special applications as a second RF channel for the R and S SFU.
Up to three standards can be installed simultaneously in the R and S SFE broadcast tester.
The generator combines an RF modulator, a universal real-time coder, and baseband signal sources in one instrument.
In this configuration, it can generate broadcast signals in the frequency range of 100kHz to 2.5GHz in real time.
Its modular design makes it ideal for a wide variety of lab applications as well as for service and quality assurance.
Because it includes a noise generator and BER tester, the R and S SFE also handles more complex measurement tasks.
The R and S SFU broadcast test system is the high-end instrument of the family and can be used to develop and extensively test new digital broadcasting transmission methods.
It provides high-precision standard signals, permits signal modifications up to the system limit, and can insert defined errors.
The R and S SFU can easily be upgraded to accommodate changes in broadcast standards.
It combines a test transmitter, a signal generator/recorder for MPEG-2 transport streams, a fading simulator with up to 40 paths, a broadband digital AWGN noise source, and an ARB generator in a single platform.
The R and S SFU is suitable for research and development as well as for quality assurance and EMC measurements.
The compatibility of the commands between instruments allows test scenarios and remote-control programs created using the R and S SFU to be immediately transferred to the R and S SFE100, which saves time and minimises errors. Request a free brochure from Rohde and Schwarz ...
