Deep dive into CERTIUM GATEWAYS

Rohde & Schwarz offers a wide portfolio of gateways for a seamless integration of legacy applications into IP infrastructures.

R&S®AVQA Advanced voice quality assurance system

End-to-end mission control communications system R&S®M4ACS in field deployments

Sustainable design of ATC communications systems

Rohde & Schwarz plays its role and presents a pragmatic way to contribute towards making aviation sustainable.

Drone based measurements

Drone inspection requires more than just a drone and a receiver: A small and light antenna, a permanent data link to the ground, very precise and lightweight GNSS, and robust immunity to RF interferers inside and outside the drone are also needed, along with low weight and reasonable battery life.

R&S®AVQA - loopback monitor

R&S®AVQA loopback monitor provides a non-intrusive end to end test of the entire ATC voice communications system. Using the patented technology of correlating the ground-based receptions with the ground-based transmissions, the system provides non-intrusive analyses of the entire communication chain.

R&S®AVQA - Air-ground monitor

Voice quality assurance is indispensable for airspace operations. R&S®AVQA A/G monitor provides a detailed information on the A/G connection between radio and VCS system. The fully flexible dashboard provides a high-level overview and allows a quick drill-down to the particular connection.

R&S®AVQA - RSSI monitor

The RSSI monitor in R&S®AVQA provides a great opportunity for long-term signal and noise monitoring of the radio infrastructure. Using the flags in the ED-137 voice stream, R&S®AVQA non-intrusively analyzes the RSSI level. Based on the squelch information, R&S®AVQA automatically differs between the signal and noise and reports this accordingly.

R&S®AVQA - frequency monitor

Long press PTT or simultaneous transmissions are serious problems in ATC voice communication. R&S®AVQA frequency monitor provides a great tool for analyses and alarming of such irregularities. Based on the non-intrusive voice monitoring, R&S®AVQA has a complete information about communication.

R&S®AVQA - Ground-ground monitor

Voice quality assurance is key for safe airspace operations. The R&S®AVQA G/G monitor provides a detailed information on the G/G connection between controller working positions but also between centers and airports. The quality data are recorded with a granularity of five seconds, providing a very detailed statistics.
