Farnell introduces Rohde and Schwarz NGP800 power supplies
Farnell has added Rohde & Schwarz’s NGP800 series of power supplies to its portfolio. The series is made up of five 2- and 4-channel models operating at either 400W or 800W, suited for both bench-top and automated test systems. They have a 5” touch display that enables synchronising outputs, performing waveform tests and logging data for analysis. All models come with ...
Power analyser add-ons stream data for motors and flicker testing
Yokogawa is increasing PC connectivity for its WT5000 power analyser with two new options and a firmware upgrade – aiming to improve performance when developing or evaluating electric vehicle-related equipment, and solar or wind power equipment. “The DS option centres on waveform data streaming, while the focus of G7 option is IEC harmonic, voltage fluctuation and flicker testing,” said the ...
Rohde & Schwarz FSW signal and spectrum analyser operates at sub-THz
Rohde & Schwarz has demonstrated multi Gb data transmission in the D-Band at 140GHz. The setup features the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer equipped with an R&S FSW-B8001 option, supporting 8.3GHz internal analysis bandwidth. The company claims its setup represents some of the first research exploring data transmission at sub-THz frequencies featuring ultra-wide bandwidths. In the setup, a wideband-baseband signal is ...
Differential input Wi-Fi connected PC scopes reach 250MHz
Netherlands-based PC scope firm TiePie has introduced a four channel Wi-Fi connected display-free oscilloscope with differential inputs. It is the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF, which comes in three versions. The top end one, nominally 1Gsample/s has. 250MHz bandwidth 1Gsample/s, but see note* 8, 12, 14 or 16bit resolution 1Mpoint/channel data buffer (expandable to 256Msample/chan with XM option over USB) *note, 1Gsample/s is ...
8 channel PC scope has dual 5Gsample/s ADCs
Pico Technology has introduced an eight-channel PC oscilloscope with dual 5Gsample/s ADCs and 4Gsample of capture memory as standard – as well as a hands-free probe holder, more of which further down. Called PicoScope 6824E, it has 500MHz bandwidth analogue inputs and 16 digital channels that record pulses down to 1ns – so ~500MHz signals. The ADCs have 8, 10 ...
5G STS from Rohde & Schwarz bundles test tools for gNodeB
Rohde & Schwarz has introduced its 5G site testing solution, (5G STS) a package of test equipment that combines functional, RF and signaling tests for 5G installation and troubleshooting. Site acceptance and troubleshooting requires the testing of capabilities such as beamforming and 5G/LTE dual connectivity, to verify the installation and performance. The 5G STS comprises the TSMA6 receiver, the TSME30DC ...
Anritsu signs agreement with Bureau Veritas for 5G testing
The Bureau Veritas customer products service division in Taiwan has set up Anritsu’s 5G test station MT8000A for device verification. It’s also using the test platform ME7834NR for protocol conformance testing and test system ME7873NR for RF/RRM conformance testing. By adopting MT8000A with modular configurations, Bureau Veritas can construct stable test systems for both conducted and OTA environments. The decision ...
‘Connector-less’ connector system speeds thermocouple installation
Ipetronik has introduced a quick-connect system for attaching thermocouples, branded TDC. It involves a special non-round (pear-shaped) thermocouple cable, which is simply pushed into the connector part (photo right), where it is retained. Inside, needle contacts both connect to and retain the cable. To remove the cable, the lever beneath the cable orifice is pushed to one side and the ...
