Complete measurement solution for WiMAX covers all production requirements
WiMAX is a technology for broadband mobile radio applications and simultaneously a wireless alternative to DSL. It is based on modern transmission capabilities such as OFDM/OFDMA. The objective is to provide reliable access to high-speed Internet applications. Due to the trend toward mobile applications, WiMAX has a promising future. To ensure stable function, manufacturers of WiMAX instruments require a reliable measurement solution for production. For the development of WiMAX, Rohde & Schwarz already has the successful high-end Vector Signal Generator R&S SMU200A and the high-quality Signal Analyzer R&S FSQ on the market. The WiMAX package consisting of the R&S SMJ100A and R&S FSL now provides a version that covers all requirements in production. The version for development as well as the one for production can both be remote-controlled and have the same user interface, truly an advantage. By using the internal R&S SMJ-K49 option, you can generate signals for mobile and stationary applications for the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard as well as for the current IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard. The new functionalities can be remote-controlled via LAN or GPIB. Moreover, the short setting times with which frequencies and waveforms are changed mean very short throughput time. The R&S SMJ also offers standard-compliant signals for receiver tests and high signal quality when performing amplifier tests. The R&S FSL-K93 option of the Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSL allows you to perform measurements on WiMAX signals in accordance with the OFDM/OFDMA method even without an additional PC. Remote control via LAN and GPIB is also available. The measurement of modulation quality and all RF parameters such as adjacent-channel power or spectrum masks as well as high measurement speed make the R&S FSL unique in its price class and significantly reduce throughput time in production. The combination of the R&S SMJ100A and R&S FSL for WiMAX is available from Rohde & Schwarz at a special package price.
