Development engineers need instrumentation that enables in-depth functional analysis of the RF and protocol layers, as well as sophisticated application measurements and testing. The R&S CMW500's multi-technology support includes all handover and cell selection scenarios for various standards.
On the other hand, in manufacturing, the primary focus is on saving time and money. By applying the R&S Smart Alignment concept, the R&S CMW500 performs alignment up to ten times faster than conventional methods. Since the tester can be optionally equipped with two channels, it can even measure two DUTs simultaneously using different standards. Furthermore, the R&S CMW500 delivers absolute accuracy, repeatability, and linearity.
One advantage that has received little attention until now is the use of consistent measurement concepts throughout all phases of product development. From development to manufacturing, the R&S CMW500 delivers consistent and comparable results. As a result, errors during the manufacturing phase can be easily reproduced and eliminated in the development lab. Furthermore, measurement scripts or alignment routines from development can be easily implemented in manufacturing.
With a frequency range up to 6 GHz, the R&S CMW500 is ideally suited to meet future technological challenges. Its modular design, which allows users to add new standards with optional software updates, minimizes measurement costs and provides maximum flexibility.
Depending on its configuration, the CMW500 supports the following standards: GSM/(E)GPRS, WCDMA/HSPA, UMTS LTE, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2000® 1xRTT, CDMA2000® 1Xev-do, Mobile WiMAXTM, WLAN, Bluetooth®, DVB-T and GPS.
