Rohde & Schwarz (R & S) announced that the new CMW100 wireless communications test set-up is under test at 5G NR 6GHz.
3GPP's 5G NRs will support frequencies up to 52.6 GHz, but 5G designs in the early stages will use frequencies below 6 GHz and are expected to focus on 3.5 GHz frequencies.For these carrier frequencies below 6 GHz, 3GPP is currently discussing 100 MHz Therefore, a R & S CMW100 wireless communications test instrument with 160 MHz measurement bandwidth is ideal for initial design and testing of 5G NR sub-6GHz wireless devices. The R & S CMW100 has excellent measurement speed , Is the ideal solution for mass production environments.
The highly flexible R & S CMW100 is suitable for all types of wireless devices and offers the most economical solution for large-scale production of cellular and non-cellular (wireless link) devices in addition to 5G NR sub-6GHz, as well as LTE, WLAN and Bluetooth Solution and can be calibrated and validated using non-signaling mode (analyzer / generator) Whether it's a cell phone or a wide range of mobile device manufacturers, it takes the most out of equipment and training costs to get the most out of its rich measurement capabilities benefit.
The newest version of the R & S CMW100 with 160MHz frequency is available now, and R & S will introduce a dedicated 5G NR sub-6GHz dedicated vector signal analysis and generator software option in 2018.
