Berlin is the place to be in 2023, especially for the microwave industry. The European Microwave Week (EuMW) is Europe's premier annual microwave, RF, wireless and radar event and is coming to the German capital.

Rohde & Schwarz and MediaTek have partnered to successfully verify MediaTek’s 5G RedCap (reduced capability) test platform, as defined in 3GPP Release 17.

Rohde & Schwarz is first to submit 5G Next Generation eCall (NGeCall) protocol test cases to the 3GPP Global Certification Forum (GCF).

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport has installed R&S QPS201 security scanners. A shortage of personnel in the after COVID-19 period and a fully resumed air traffic turned out to be a major obstacle to its rapid handling at the security lanes. After air passengers have recently been confronted with long waiting queues for security checks, the modernized security lanes at Schiphol now meet the surging post-pandemic travel demands.

Rohde & Schwarz has partnered with MediaTek to verify the first NTN NB-IoT protocol conformance test cases according to 3GPP 36.523-1 on MediaTek’s NTN IoT capable MT6825 chipset.

At the MWC Shanghai 2023, Rohde & Schwarz will hold a live demonstration of the test solution at the company’s booth with Qualcomm Technologies’ NTN Release 17 IoT chipsets.

For precise and time-saving compliance testing of the latest generation PCIe 5.0 and 6.0 cables and connectors in line with PCI-SIG specifications, Rohde & Schwarz is developing a new R&S ZNrun vector network analyzer automation suite option.

Rohde & Schwarz has successfully validated 5G RedCap (reduced capability) test cases for its R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester and R&S TS8980 conformance test system for the recent Conformance Agreement Group (CAG) #74 meeting, allowing the Global Certification Forum (GCF) to activate the respective work items in their device certification program.

The Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN, Lille, France) and Rohde & Schwarz have expanded their collaboration to research THz communications that utilize photonic technologies.

The R&S SMW200A and R&S SMM100A vector signal generators and the R&S FSW and R&S FPS signal and spectrum analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz have been approved by Qualcomm for testing the Qualcomm^® QRU100 5G RAN Platform – an O-RAN compliant solution with architecture flexibility designed to facilitate scalable and cost-effective 5G network deployments.
