Flexible multi-standard platform prepared for future action mobile networks

Currently, to successfully position their products on the market, manufacturers of chipsets RF / baseband and wireless devices are combining technologies and standards. But to succeed, the combination of services should exhibit stable performance across network boundaries.

To meet the growing demands for power during the measurements in development and manufacturing, Rohde & Schwarz has launched the R & S CMW500, a flexible and scalable platform. With this system, users no longer need several tools to perform different tasks of measures.
Development engineers need a deep instrumentation to allow a functional analysis of RF and protocol layers and also allows sophisticated measures or tests of applications. Multitechnology support the R & S CMW500 includes all scenarios handover and cell selection of various standards.
On the other hand, in manufacturing, the main concern is saving time and expense. Applying the concept R & S Smart Alignment, the R & S CMW500 alignment makes up to ten times faster than conventional methods. Since the tester can be equipped optionally with two channels, including two DUT can be measured simultaneously using different standards. In addition, the R & S CMW500 provides absolute accuracy, repeatability and linearity.
One advantage that has so far received little attention, is the consistent use of measurement concepts through all phases of product development. From development to manufacturing, R & S CMW500 provides consistent and comparable results. As a result, errors during the manufacturing stage and removed easily reproduced in laboratory development. Furthermore, scripts or routines as alignment of development can easily be implemented in manufacturing.
With a frequency range up to 6 GHz, the R & S CMW500 is suitable to meet future technological challenges. Its modular concept allows users to add new standards with optional software updates, reduces costs for the measures to a minimum and provides maximum flexibility.
Depending on your configuration, the CMW500 supports the following standards: GSM / (E) GPRS, WCDMA / HSPA, UMTS, LTE, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2000 ® 1xRTT, CDMA2000 ® 1xEV-DO Mobile WiMAXTM, WLAN, Bluetooth ®, DVB -T and GPS.
