Rohde & Schwarz invites attendees to the EuMW 2025 in Utrecht to “Discover the next wave of test and measurement” at booth A026 in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht. Taking place from September 23 to 25, 2025, the exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to explore the company’s latest RF and microwave test solutions for RF and microwave components, radar and satellite systems, next-generation wireless communications and automotive technologies.

Measure the impossible: FSWX signal and spectrum analyzer

Making its European debut at the Rohde & Schwarz booth during the EuMW, the newly introduced FSWX signal and spectrum analyzer will take center stage, featured in a variety of demo setups. This game-changing analyzer overcomes the limitations of today’s measurement methods with its novel architecture that combines multiple input ports with cross-correlation techniques. Designed for wideband signals used in mobile communications, wireless, radar and satellite applications, the FSWX meets the growing demand for higher data rates with wider demodulation bandwidths and increased modulation orders – areas where traditional signal analyzers often fall short.

RF and microwave component testing

The multi-path architecture of the FSWX offers advanced capabilities for next-generation RF and microwave component testing. It reduces measurement uncertainties, paving the way for novel testing approaches under real-world conditions. At the show booth, visitors can explore its residual measurements functionality, which allow simultaneous comparison of signal quality metrics at both the input and output of the DUT. Additionally, the FSWX can detect hidden RF signals thanks to its ability to suppress inherent noise to improve sensitivity. The cross-correlation mode lowers the instrument’s noise floor without compromising resolution bandwidth (RBW). This allows faster sweep times and better detection of small signals. By suppressing noise, the FSWX reveals Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) numbers of high-end transmitters that were previously unmeasurable.

Additional demonstrations at the booth include a novel approach for wideband modulated load pull, addressing the growing need to verify wideband RF frontends across varying impedances as seen when connected to multi-band antennas. This solution, based on the R&S®RTP oscilloscope and the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator, enables rapid wideband signal capture, essential for such applications.

Rohde & Schwarz will also present the R&S®ZNB3000 , its latest vector network analyzer, optimized for high-volume production and short ramp-up times. Offering industry-leading measurement speed and reliability, the R&S ZNB3000 is designed for rapid upscaling and easy adaptation to application-specific requirements. With highest dynamic range and output power in its class, as well as future-ready performance, it supports next-generation technologies.

With the R&S®ZN-ZCG comb generator, Rohde & Schwarz has introduced a phase reference standard that delivers precision phase calibration for the R&S®ZNA vector network analyzer. It enables accurate frequency converting phase and delay measurements on components such as mixers and converters. The spectrum generated by the R&S ZN-ZCG is phase-characterized and referenced to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ensuring fully traceable and reliable calibration.

Radar and EW testing

In modern electromagnetic warfare (EW), deceptive jammers based on digital RF memory (DRFM) technology play a critical role in Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) systems. As radars become increasingly sophisticated, measuring DRFM performance – in particular in terms of timing, coherence and spectral integrity – requires exceptional precision. At EuMW, visitors can witness the multi-channel FSWX in action as it simultaneously measures input and output signals of a simulated DRFM jammer, providing a comprehensive evaluation of its performance and effectiveness. The FSWX also offers advanced measurement applications such as pulse and transient analysis, offering deeper insights into radar and EW system behavior.

To address emerging applications in satellite communications, Rohde & Schwarz will also showcase the latest model of the R&S®FSWP , now featuring an extended frequency range of up to 56 GHz and support of external oscillators as local oscillators. The demonstration will highlight its capabilities in additive and residual phase noise measurements, supported by an internal signal source with a frequency range of up to 54 GHz.

Exploring THz frequencies for wireless technologies

The frequency range above 100 GHz is key to developing tomorrow’s wireless technologies like sensing or short-range data transmission. Rohde & Schwarz is actively collaborating with universities and public as well as commercial research facilities to address new requirements for latency and data transmission rates, using its state-of-the-art test solutions. At the EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will present wideband measurements in the sub-THz range, featuring the new FSWX signal and spectrum analyzer and the R&S®SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator combined with the new R&S®FC330SR frequency converters. The signal generator generates signals with up to 10 GHz RF modulation bandwidth, while the frequency converters up- and down-convert intermediate frequency (IF) signals to and from the RF frequency range of 220 to 330 GHz, known as the H band. The FSWX supports an IF range of up to 35 GHz, enabling the analysis of ultra-wideband signals. The cross-correlation mode improves the EVM performance of the FSWX significantly by removing the instrument-inherent internal noise.

An eye-catcher at the booth is a THz measurement system using photonic techniques for ultra-wideband high-frequency characterization. A photodiode converts an optical beat signal – generated by lasers at slightly different optical frequencies – into an electrical signal through photomixing. Both lasers are locked to a frequency comb, enabling the generation of ultra-stable, narrow-line terahertz (THz) signals. This approach, explored in projects like 6G-ADLANTIK, not only supports 6G data transmission but also facilitates the development of T&M systems for phase-sensitive characterization across a wide frequency range, which is essential for terahertz metrology, next-generation communications, material analysis and non-destructive testing.

Automotive radar, antenna and UWB testing

Rohde & Schwarz is at the forefront of supporting the automotive industry’s transition to autonomous, connected and electrified vehicles. At the EuMW, visitors can explore cutting-edge wireless and radar test solutions designed to address the entire range of RF and microwave applications in the automotive sector. The R&S®AREG800A target generator, together with the R&S®ATS800R CATR chamber, which now covers automotive radar frequency bands from 76 to 81 GHz, are used for validating automotive radar sensors in a cost-effective way. The solution enables chipset developers, Tier 1 automotive radar manufacturers and OEMs to electronically create complex traffic scenarios and ensure advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functionality.

Furthermore, the company will provide insights into automotive antenna digital twins and comprehensive full-vehicle antenna testing. In another demonstration, the FSW signal and spectrum analyzer, combined with the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator, will showcase target simulation of UWB radars.
