Rohde & Schwarz's Radio Network Analyzer Handles Three Mobile Radio Technologies in Parallel
( 1 May 2007 )
Rohde & Schwarz has released the R&S TSMQ, a compact and powerful radio network analyzer that can analyze up to three mobile radio technologies—GSM, WCDMA and cdma2000—in parallel. In addition, the R&S TSMQ can provide power level measurements across single frequencies or a defined frequency range separately to easily detect spurious signals from the networks being measured, for example, WiMAX. The R&S TSMQ comes with the R&S ROMES software, which can be installed on a PC or notebook. The instrument is connected to the PC via a FireWire interface. To gain exact location data, a GPS system can be connected via a USB interface. Featuring extremely fast UMTS PN scanner, the R&S TSMQ touts up to 50 measurements per second in a frequency range of 80MHz to 3GHz. The power consumption of less than 10W allows a long battery run time.
