Munich, January 09, 2009 — Rohde & Schwarz is introducing the R&S TS DVBH, the first test system for DVB-H-capable user equipment. The new platform is up to now the only DVB-H test solution that has been validated by the Global Certification Forum (GCF). It can handle all five test cases of the GCF's work item 55 (WI 55).
Many network operators already require GCF certification for mobile phones that will be deployed in their networks. The WI 55 tests have been mandatory since February 2009 as part of DVB-H mobile phone compliance testing. Test houses and user equipment manufacturers are now able to use the new R&S TS DVBH to perform DVB H compliance tests to assure that their products are in line with GCF. The system is also suitable for precompliance tests to prepare for certification.
The new test solution for DVB H test cases is based on the highly regarded R&S SFU broadcast test system from Rohde & Schwarz. This multi-standard tester is already being used very successfully as a reference signal source in the development of broadcast receivers.
The new R&S TS-DVBH test system is now available from Rohde & Schwarz.
