Several Rohde & Schwarz test solutions have been approved by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in their latest Qualcomm® Development Acceleration Resource Toolkit (QDART) release for testing the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform in the 5G NR FR1 frequency range. OEMs who integrate the solution from Qualcomm Technologies in their radio units (RU) can now rely on the following Rohde & Schwarz solutions for design verification testing (DVT) and production testing:
- R&S SMW200A and R&S SMM100A vector signal generators
- R&S FSW and R&S FPS signal and spectrum analyzers
Deploying 5G networks with infrastructure that meets modern demands comes with major challenges, as achieving the right balance between high capacity, low latency, and cost efficiency becomes increasingly difficult. The Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform is a comprehensive modem-RF solution designed to address these challenges and enable flexible network deployments by delivering O-RAN-compliant 5G solutions.
The Rohde & Schwarz test solutions approved for testing the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform include two vector signal generators, the R&S SMW200A and R&S SMM100A, and two signal and spectrum analyzers, the R&S FSW and R&S FPS. Depending on the application and budget, OEMs can combine either the R&S SMW200A and R&S FSW or the R&S SMM100A and R&S FPS for a complete base station and small cell testing solution with full automation.
The R&S SMW200A and R&S FSW are state-of-the-art signal generator and analyzer pair ideal for R&D applications. The R&S SMW200A is an advanced vector signal generator designed for cutting-edge applications such as the design and verification of base stations and small cells. Its counterpart, the R&S FSW, is a high-performance signal and spectrum analyzer with an internal analysis bandwidth of 8.3 GHz, suitable for measuring wideband-modulated or frequency agile signals used in 5G NR.
The R&S SMM100A and R&S FPS are the perfect combination when a good price/performance ratio is a key factor. The R&S SMM100A is the only midrange vector signal generator with mmWave testing capabilities, covering the bands used by existing wireless standards as well as the bands for both 5G NR FR1 and 5G NR FR2. It is complemented by the R&S FPS, an exceptionally fast and compact signal and spectrum analyzer optimized for speed and high data throughput.
