Reliable RF testing of GSM, GPRS and EDGE mobile phones
Since the very beginning of GSM mobile radio, Rohde & Schwarz systems have been the de facto standard for conformance testing. Continuous extensions to the standard, additional frequency bands and shorter design phases pose new and higher demands to which Rohde & Schwarz responds with the RF Test Systems R&S TS8950G / TS 8955G. They support all GSM850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 frequency bands in the circuit switched, GPRS and EGPRS connection modes and are easily upgraded to WCDMA.

From SISO to MIMO – taking advantage of everything the air interface offers (2)
Part 1 of this article in number 192 discussed SISO, SIMO and MISO systems (see box below) and how they are used in GSM, WCDMA and WiMAX. The tests defined as part of the certification process were also discussed along with how they can be implemented using instruments from Rohde & Schwarz. Part 2 will cover MIMO systems, i. e. the variants used in the different standards, the relevant test scenarios and their implementation.

No more excuses for mobile phones in weak networks – new test method determines benchmark figures
With conventional certification tests, network operators have limited options for comparing mobile phones. Consequently, they need additional methods to test mobile phones at their RF limits to be able to compare their performance with respect to specific receive characteristics. A new automated test method for the R&S® TS895xG /W 2G / 3G RF conformance test system family fulfills these needs.

WCDMA Test System R&S TS8950W
The WCDMA Test System R&S TS8950W expands the Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of RF conformance test systems and provides an all-in-one solution suitable for development tests as well as for the certification of terminal equipment. The new test system for manufacturers and independent test laboratories performs all transmitter, receiver and performance tests according to the 3GPP test specification TS 34.121 fully automatically.
