Test and measurement technology leader Rohde & Schwarz with decades of expertise is set to showcase at electronica 2024, held in its home city Munich. Visitors will be able to experience the company’s wide range of solutions designed to help them tackle their test and measurement challenges in the development, verification and production of electronic components and devices – from the everyday to the extraordinary.
The 60th anniversary edition of the world's leading electronics trade fair, electronica, is coming to Munich from November 12 to 15, 2024. Munich-based T&M expert Rohde & Schwarz will welcome trade show visitors to booth A3.307 at the Messe München fairgrounds, where they will exhibit a variety of test and measurement solutions tailored to developers and test engineers. Highlight applications will range from day-to-day test and measurement tasks – like verifying RF frontends or optimizing wide bandgap power designs – to dedicated solutions for emerging technologies – like radar, non-terrestrial networks or particle accelerators and quantum computing.
Ensuring reliability in power electronics
Rohde & Schwarz will showcase a variety of applications based on its next-generation oscilloscopes of the MXO 5 and MXO 5C series at electronica that assist engineers to ensure the reliablity of their power electronics. The eight-channel MXO 5 oscilloscope coupled with the R&S RT-ZISO isolated probing system delivers unparalleled accuracy, sensitivity, dynamic range and bandwidth. With these features it is the ideal solution for characterization, verification and debug of the next generation of wide-bandgap (WBG) power designs with SiC and GaN, demonstrated at the event.
In another setup, the MXO 5 oscilloscope will demonstrate that multi-phase buck converter design validation can be easy and delivers reliable results. High-speed multi-phase buck converter SoCs offer various operational benefits to meet demands in big data and other applications requiring lower voltages, higher currents and faster switching times.
And in a demonstration in partnership with PE Systems GmbH, visitors will be able to experience a double pulse tester system employing the new rackmount optimized MXO 5C oscilloscope without a display along with probes and power supplies from Rohde & Schwarz. The fully automated test system for characterizing power conductors and passive components allows the user to search for optimal driver parameters and conduct verification measurements on entire power electronic systems.
Wideband modulated load pull
To verify the system level performance of RF frontends across different impedances, Rohde & Schwarz will present a new solution for wideband modulated load pull, using the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator, the R&S RTP164 oscilloscope and new software option R&S RTP-K98 to characterize non-linear devices fast and precisely. With this solution users can validate RF frontends for load impedance variation as seen when driving RF signals into an antenna over a wider frequency range.
Conducted emission measurements
For both device developers and conformance test houses, the R&S EPL1000 EMI test receiver offers fast, accurate and reliable EMI compliance measurements up to 30 MHz and fully complies with CISPR 16-1-1. The R&S EPL1000 features 4-channel click rate analysis, a real-time spectrogram function and automated measurements, making it ideal for conducted voltage and current measurements. Typical applications include pre-compliance measurements, pre-certification and certification in line with IEC, EN, CISPR and FCC.
Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL™) signal integrity analysis
Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL™) from Analog Devices is a cost-efficient and scalable SerDes technology that achieves a new level of performance for high-resolution digital video transport in camera and display-based applications. At electronica, Rohde & Schwarz will feature the R&S RTP oscilloscope performing key signal integrity measurements such as eye diagrams to validate and debug a GMSL™ link.
Automotive radar functional testing
The new R&S RadEsT automotive radar tester is an ultra-compact, versatile radar target simulator that meets the full range of testing needs – from lab-based functional testing to vehicle-level production checks and beyond. Visitors can learn how to streamline radar sensor testing using the R&S RadEsT in radar sensor calibration, ADAS/AD functional testing and on OEM production lines.
Electric drivetrain component testing
Even marginal improvements in electric drivetrain efficiency and performance can significantly enhance overall electric vehicle (EV) operation. At electronica, Rohde & Schwarz will present a solution for OEMs and their suppliers to characterize and optimize drivetrain components, such as inverters and battery management systems. The solution is based on the MFIA from Zurich Instruments, the MXO 5 oscilloscope and the R&S NGM power supply.
Non-terrestrial network testing
Rohde & Schwarz is pushing the limits of seamless global coverage over land, sea and air with its test solutions for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) that offer extensive protocol verification and compliance with GCF/PTCRB and operator‑specific standards like Skylo, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of satellite-based communications. In a demo setup at electronica, the CMX500 radio communication tester will emulate complex multi-orbit (LEO, MEO, GSO, GEO) and multi-band (L/S/Ku/Ka Band) satellite environments, simulating a wide range of network conditions to ensure NTN-NR devices perform flawlessly anywhere in the world. In addition, test cases for NB-NTN, using the advanced CMW500 wideband radio communication tester, will also be showcased.
RedCap device testing
5G RedCap devices offer reduced features and operate on 5G standalone networks only. This results in greater reliability, lower latency, and improved performance and efficiency. Rohde & Schwarz will present specialized testing for RedCap device R&D with a comprehensive solution based on the CMX500 radio communication tester. Visitors will be able to learn how to ensure optimal device performance and regulatory compliance with extensive LTE and 5G NR protocol verification as defined in 3GPP 5G Release 17.
Researching game-changing technologies
Rohde & Schwarz, in collaboration with Zurich Instruments, addresses particle accelerators physics, quantum computing and other extraordinary scientific and industrial research applications. Experiments in accelerators physics, for instance in synchrotron labs, often require precise measurements of pulse amplitude or timing jitter. Oscilloscopes are indispensable for continuous monitoring for the entire signal, while the UHF-BOX Boxcar Averager from Zurich Instruments streamlines the data acquisition by capturing the directly the integrated pulse amplitude in real-time.
Service and calibration in great hands
Leading-edge technology belongs in expert hands. The Rohde & Schwarz support network spans multiple time zones and reaches every corner of the globe. At electronica, Rohde & Schwarz will spotlight its comprehensive service portfolio, including accredited calibration services, repair services directly from Rohde & Schwarz, training courses and industry insights from the R&S Technology Academy, as well as a 24/7 hotline and on-site support.
Moreover, as a world leader in RF product manufacturing with extensive vertical integration, Rohde & Schwarz also offers its expertise to other electronic product manufacturers. At electronica, visitors can learn about the high-precision electronic manufacturing services (EMS) available at the Rohde & Schwarz plants in Memmingen and in Teisnach.
Rohde & Schwarz will be at electronica 2024 in hall A3 at booth 307 from November 12 to 15, 2024. For further information, visit: https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/electronica
