Rohde & Schwarz gives analyser 2GHz bandwidth for 5G work

FSW_B2001_ScreenShot_textimage-300x200.jpg

Rohde & Schwarz is expanding the internal analysis bandwidth of its FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyser up to 2GHz. This is relevant to developers of 5G radio access technologies which need a very large bandwidth to analyse wideband signals. Adding this wideband option to the signal analysers, with frequency ranges up to 43.5 GHz and 50 GHz, should allow ...

NI adds time sensitive networking to CompactDAQ platform

NI’s latest CompactDAQ chassis incorporates time-based synchronisation built on the latest Ethernet standards. This brings together time sensitive networking (TSN) with CompactDAQ hardware for distributed measurements. As industrial measurement systems move closer to the device under test it is creating challenges with synchronisation and systems management. TSN as the next evolution of the IEEE 802.1 Ethernet standard is designed to ...

Anritsu says time to prepare for 5G production

Anritsu-300x200.jpg

Anritsu is targeting development and commercial production of 5G mobile communications systems with a mid-range signal analyser offering 1GHz analysis bandwidth. The MS2850A has software for the evaluation of 5G multi-carrier signals. This is supported in hardware by a typical 800MHz modulation bandwidth which will be used in 5G (e.g. eight 100MHz bandwidth carriers). Anritsu says that, “with many operators ...
