Rohde & Schwarz will exhibit at this years European Microwave Week 2023 in Berlin from September 19 to 21.

August 2023 – Berlin is the place to be in 2023, especially for the microwave industry. The European Microwave Week (EuMW) is Europes premier annual microwave, RF, wireless and radar event and is coming to the German capital. German based test and measurement expert Rohde & Schwarz will present a comprehensive portfolio of state-of-the-art test solutions to handle the latest industry challenges. A special focus will be on early sub-THz research for 6G.

Rohde & Schwarz is a globally active, leading T&M specialist with headquarters in Germany and will exhibit at this years European Microwave Week 2023 in Berlin from September 19 to 21 under the motto From Gigahertz to Terahertz. Visitors can learn about the companys latest test applications for microwave components, automotive, and aerospace and defense at booth H105 in Messe Berlin Hub27

The Rohde & Schwarz booth will focus on the companys growing range of cutting-edge test solutions for 6G. Academia and key industry players recognize the potential of the D band (110 GHz to 170 GHz) as a candidate for beyond 5G and 6G mobile communications as well as for future sensing and automotive radar applications. To support pioneering mmWave and sub-THz research, Rohde & Schwarz is rolling out an advanced RF test and measurement portfolio, enabling researchers to characterize devices and circuits for tomorrows products today.

Highlights at the Rohde & Schwarz booth include the companys first public demonstration of a wideband D band communications testing solution with the companys brand-new R&S SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator with up to 10 GHz RF modulation bandwidth. Combined with the R&S FSW50 signal and spectrum analyzer, easy-to-mount R&S FE170ST/SR TX/RX frontends and the new R&S NRP170TWG thermal power sensor for the D band, it is a complete and streamlined T&M solution for early 6G and sub-THz research and development.

Other demo setups show multi-port measurements in the W band with new R&S FE110ST/SR TX/RX frontends, the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S RTP oscilloscope. Covering the frequency range from 70 GHz to 110 GHz, these new frontends complement the companys portfolio by targeting high-frequency applications up to 110 GHz. The comprehensive display of D band applications is rounded out with two more setups: One featuring D band component characterisation using the R&S ZNA vector network analyzer combined with R&S ZC170 mmWave converters; another one showing phase noise measurements in the D band with the R&S FSWP phase noise analyzer and the R&S SMA100B vector signal generator combined with R&S FS-Z170 harmonic mixers and R&S SMZ170 frequency multipliers that increase the instrument frequency range to 170 GHz.

The latest additions to the Rohde & Schwarz sub-THz test portfolio (R&S SFI100A, R&S NRP170TWG and R&S FE110ST/SR) will be available soon but visitors can already experience them in person at the EuMW in Berlin.

Rohde & Schwarz will showcase its products at the EuMW from September 19 to 21, 2023, at booth H105 in Messe Berlin Hub27. In addition, experts from Rohde & Schwarz will give workshops and keynotes at the conference.
