Wideband Radio Communication Tester
The R&S®CMW500 is a compact solution for fast and precise production testing of current and future wireless devices from basic mobile phones to the most sophisticated PDAs.
The multitechnology platform allows users to implement the concept of a lean production line from start to finish: A single measuring instrument covers all RF test requirements.
- Base model: general-purpose RF power meter and CW generator with list modes for fast calibration of wireless devices
- Vector signal analyzer (VSA) for transmitter verification with MELM (Multi Evaluation List Mode) for fast verification of wireless devices
- Vector signal generator (VSG) for expanded receiver testing: ARB mode for short setup times for complex signals
- Signaling (network emulation) for functional sample testing
- Dual port frontend allows minimized handling time, one DUT can be measured while the second DUT will be loaded to the test fixture
- Easy connection to multiple radios on one wireless devices by using the integrated multiport RF interface
- Reference RF power measurement enabled by direct connection of R&S®NRP-Z power sensor series
- State‑of‑the‑art graphical user interface (GUI)
- SCPI remote control via LAN/GPIB interface
- Ready for LXI Class C
- Process controller with Windows® XP OS for test routines and remote control via Windows® Remote Desktop
