Webinar, RTO2000, Automotive Ethernet compliance testing This webinar presents details on the individual test cases of the compliance test and provides useful information on the required test setup.

Video, RTO2000, Oscilloscope, Power integrity test Today’s highly integrated electronic devices use smaller voltage levels and therefore require much smaller ripple levels on the power rails for reliable operation.

Oscilloscope bus debugging, RTO2000, bus debugging, UART, RS232, RS485 Let your Oscilloscope decode your UART/RS232/RS485 interfaces for you! So you can quickly understand the data and correlate the data content with the electrical signal.

For this video, we will be using a 2 GHz R&S®RTO oscilloscope, an 8 GHz R&S®ZND two-port VNA as well as the R&S®ScopeSuite automated test software. Webinar, Automotive, Ethernet This webinar will focus on 1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet compliance testing based on the Open Alliance (OA) TC8 specification for the physical layer.

The DUT operates in Test Mode 4 which is a PRBS sequence and it is exposed on a 125MHz disturber signal which comes out of theB6 signal generator which is integrated in the RTO6 oscilloscope. The ScopeSuite software provides a step by test foto guided test execution and reports the test results.

RTO2000, toolbar, measurement functions, fast access The toolbar at the top of the screen provides access to frequently used functions such as measurements, zoom and FFT. Configure measurement in a few seconds by simply activating the measurement setup in the toolbar and choosing the desired measurement function and source channel in the sidebar.

Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz extends its support to the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) with an extension to their compliance test services. As a result, UNH-IOL customers can now achieve compliance for automotive Ethernet cables and connectors (link segment) based on the OPEN Alliance TC9 working group test specification supporting both unshielded (UTP) and shielded twisted pair cables and connectors (STP).

The radio unit activity versus power consumption is monitored using the R&S RTO oscilloscope to detect short power pulses or spikes. The results make it easy to evaluate energy efficiency measures such as advanced sleep modes and provide ratings for radio units based on their power consumption.

In this demo, Rohde & Schwarz and VIAVI Solutions in collaboration with Analog Devices are showcasing how advanced energy saving features such as microsleep DTx or discontinuous transmit on an O-RU platform save energy under real-world traffic loads - measured and validated through the R&S®RTO6 oscilloscope, the R&S®NGT power supply and the VIAVI TM500 O-RU tester.

Efficient analysis of power and signal integrity and EMC - Flyer

This paper describes the characterization of aluminum electrolytic capacitors specifically used in AC-DC power converter applications. It will be discussed why this capacitor technology is critical regarding lifetime and why it cannot be substituted simply by any another capacitor technology. Different aging effects of the capacitor will be discussed. Usage of the capacitor in different AC-DC converter topologies will be presented. Simulation circuits will be used to analyze the capacitor in more detail before suitable measurements will be performed to demonstrate a real example of a switching-mode power supply (SMPS).After the introduction into the aluminum electrolytic capacitor basics and theory, this paper will also present all important and possible measurements of capacitor parameters, like capacitance, equivalent series resistance (ESR) and ripple current. This includes in-circuit measurement which can be performed with an oscilloscope. An LCR-bridge is used to obtain high accuracy measurements in addition. A comparison between the two measurement methods will be presented. Furthermore, the required measurement hardware for the in-circuit measurements and the bridge measurement will be discussed and presented.Lastly, two different lifetime calculation methods are presented and a real example is used to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods.Thanks to Mr. Frank Puhane from Würth eiSos GmbH & Co. KG who provided me with all aluminum electrolytic capacitor samples including the prepared capacitor with build-in temperature sensors to perform all measurements. Furthermore, his great expertise was very beneficial and helpful to create this premium application note.

Comprehensive test solutions guide for production and R&D

Small cell is a compact base station with smaller form factor and lower transmission power in comparison to the conventional macro base station. It covers relatively small area and serves less users. Usually, small cell can be integrated into the existing mobile network. By the evolution of radio access technology, the role of small cell has been changing through the evolution path. In the 2G/3G time, its role was to provide coverage in corner cases. Later during LTE, networks are not just providing coverage but capacity too. Small cells were then used to provide the addition capacity where required without adding additional spectrum. Now in 5G era, network operators use densification as an important strategy to provide seamless 5G services which demand coverage, capacity and performance too. With use cases requiring the 5G millimeter wave (mmW) rollouts, it makes sense to use small cells for densification due to the propagation characteristics of mmW.In this application note, we will shed light on the testing aspects of a small cell throughout the product life cycle with particular focus on the production test solution for the small cell device under test (DUT) in FR2 (frequency range 2, mmW frequency band) in Over the Air (OTA) environment for option 6 split based on radio communication tester R&S®CMP200 and OTA chamber R&S®CMQ200. The document is complemented with more insights into test solutions used in typical R&D test applications towards the second half of the application note.
