Vector Signal Generator "R&S SMW200A"

Rohde & Schwarz Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Jacques Jourda) announced on September 21, 2016, that the Rohde & Schwarz headquarters has supported 5G signal generation/analysis based on the specifications required by Verizon's Open Trial specifications. By using the Vector Signal Generator R&S SMW200A and the Signal Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSW, it was demonstrated that EVM measurements can be achieved at less than 1% for Verizon's 5G specifications. When evaluating DUTs such as power amplifiers that require new development for the centimeter waveband, the measuring instruments themselves can sometimes affect the measurement results. Regarding this issue, the Rohde & Schwarz R&S SMW200A and R&S FSW demonstrated exceptionally high performance. These measuring instruments were able to consistently maintain EVM below 1% even during a wide power sweep of 10 dB when measuring 5G signals at 28 GHz, confirming that these measuring instruments do not influence the EVM measurement results of the DUT.

Rohde & Schwarz Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Jacques Jourda) will start selling options for the development of base stations and mobile devices requiring complex MIMO scenarios on March 2, 2016. By incorporating this option, it will be possible to generate 4×8, 8×4, and 2×4×4 MIMO scenarios. Additionally, it will enable the generation of scenarios with real-time fading for these MIMO scenarios.
