Napatech, a leading supplier of network management and security application analysis accelerators, and Ipoque (Rohde & Schwarz), a top provider of deep packet inspection (DPI) solutions, have announced a collaboration to develop solutions that provide insights for high-speed and real-time applications to support mobile networks that require high agility and flexibility. The increase in mobile network users necessitates a reduction in the time to introduce new services and the construction of real-time and more secure networks to meet growing demand. Cost reduction for network construction is also a significant challenge. To meet these demands, networks and services utilizing SDN technology, which allows for centralized network management, and NFV technology, which virtualizes network functions to run on general-purpose servers, are being employed. Through this collaborative framework, we will provide solutions that offer rapid and real-time insights into networks and services using SDN/NFV technologies.

When conducting Passive Intermodulation (PIM) measurements for passive devices such as cables, connectors, and duplexers, a typical setup may have limited functionality or require complex programming for control. Additionally, since two signals are needed, it is necessary to prepare two signal sources (even when using a measuring instrument with an internal signal source, one external source is still required). Therefore, we will provide tips for measuring Passive Intermodulation (PIM) quickly and accurately.

We provide measurement tips for quick and efficient troubleshooting using the latest R&S handheld digital oscilloscope, the R&S Scope Rider.

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.
