Just one 19" box for RF, protocol and application tests With regard to technologies such as LTE and HSPA+, the spectrum of measurements and tests spans all protocol layers – from the physical layer to U-plane applications. Increased test depth owing to the combination of p ­ rotocol and RF measurements The parallel measurement of RF parameters during protocol testing speeds up the identification and elimination of errors. For example, the bandwidth used for data or the modulation mode applied are displayed during a protocol test without requiring any additional T & M equipment or complex system...

Just one 19" box for all product d ­ evelopment and p ­ roduction phases Flexible use of instruments across o ­ rganizational units Module developers and integrators use identical T & M equipment. Additional costs and capacity bottlenecks can efficiently be avoided by sharing the instruments among different organizational units. Simple and fast debugging tool Users no longer have to familiarize themselves with the operation of various instruments. This increases efficiency of use because even sophisticated measurements can be carried out, utilizing the entire scope of functionalities. Shorter...

Just one scalable hardware Future-ready RF parameters Two independent transmit and receive paths in the frequency range up to 6 GHz and a transmit bandwidth of 80 MHz/receive bandwidth of 40 MHz make the R&S®CMW500 perfect for today's and tomorrow's requirements. A high output ­ ynamic range of 128 dB and sensid tive inputs reduce the need for external amplifiers or attenuators. Scalable RF resources Depending on the application, one or two RF paths consisting of RF converters and frontends are used. The front­ end enables the direct connection of wireless devices with complex RF architecture....
