Rohde & Schwarz launches flagship vector signal generator, upgrades scope portfolio

The vector signal generator covers frequencies from 100kHz to 3GHz or 6GHz and boasts an I/Q modulation bandwidth of 160MHz with internal baseband. The device can be equipped with an optional second rf path for frequencies of up to 6GHz and up to two baseband and four fading simulator modules. This allows a range of fading scenarios to be explored which have, until now, required complex setups with multiple instruments. • Meanwhile, Rohde & Schwarz has upgraded its RTM oscilloscope line up with the addition of a 20Mpoint memory and a 16 digital channel logic analysis option. Along with colour coded controls, the scopes feature logically grouped menus with flat structures and dedicated keys for frequently used functions. A VirtualScreen frees more space for the simultaneous display of analogue, logic, maths and reference signals. The new RTM series is available in two or four channel models and bandwidths of 350MHz or 500MHz.
