Yokogawa is increasing PC connectivity for its WT5000 power analyser with two new options and a firmware upgrade – aiming to improve performance when developing or evaluating electric vehicle-related equipment, and solar or wind power equipment. “The DS option centres on waveform data streaming, while the focus of G7 option is IEC harmonic, voltage fluctuation and flicker testing,” said the ...

Rohde & Schwarz has demonstrated multi Gb data transmission in the D-Band at 140GHz. The setup features the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer equipped with an R&S FSW-B8001 option, supporting 8.3GHz internal analysis bandwidth. The company claims its setup represents some of the first research exploring data transmission at sub-THz frequencies featuring ultra-wide bandwidths. In the setup, a wideband-baseband signal is ...

Netherlands-based PC scope firm TiePie has introduced a four channel Wi-Fi connected display-free oscilloscope with differential inputs. It is the WiFiScope WS6 DIFF, which comes in three versions. The top end one, nominally 1Gsample/s has. 250MHz bandwidth 1Gsample/s, but see note* 8, 12, 14 or 16bit resolution 1Mpoint/channel data buffer (expandable to 256Msample/chan with XM option over USB) *note, 1Gsample/s is ...

Pico Technology has introduced an eight-channel PC oscilloscope with dual 5Gsample/s ADCs and 4Gsample of capture memory as standard – as well as a hands-free probe holder, more of which further down. Called PicoScope 6824E, it has 500MHz bandwidth analogue inputs and 16 digital channels that record pulses down to 1ns – so ~500MHz signals. The ADCs have 8, 10 ...

Rohde & Schwarz has introduced its 5G site testing solution, (5G STS) a package of test equipment that combines functional, RF and signaling tests for 5G installation and troubleshooting. Site acceptance and troubleshooting requires the testing of capabilities such as beamforming and 5G/LTE dual connectivity, to verify the installation and performance. The 5G STS comprises the TSMA6 receiver, the TSME30DC ...

The Bureau Veritas customer products service division in Taiwan has set up Anritsu’s 5G test station MT8000A for device verification. It’s also using the test platform ME7834NR for protocol conformance testing and test system ME7873NR for RF/RRM conformance testing. By adopting MT8000A with modular configurations, Bureau Veritas can construct stable test systems for both conducted and OTA environments. The decision ...

Ipetronik has introduced a quick-connect system for attaching thermocouples, branded TDC. It involves a special non-round (pear-shaped) thermocouple cable, which is simply pushed into the connector part (photo right), where it is retained. Inside, needle contacts both connect to and retain the cable. To remove the cable, the lever beneath the cable orifice is pushed to one side and the ...

Anritsu Corporation has introduced the Shockline MS46131A USB vector network analyser (VNA), a modular 1-port VNA that supports measurement frequencies up to 43.5GHz. 8GHz and 20GHz models are also available in the series. MS46131A enables the measuring of antennas and other 1-port 5G devices at sub-6GHz, as well as in the 28GHz and 39GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) bands.  The MS46131A ...

Business growth has prompted Telonic Industries to move to larger premises with capacity for a workshop, calibration laboratory and demonstration room, reports the company. The company will still be located in Wokingham, UK in a facility that is three times larger than its original site, with space for a demonstration room and trade counter for customer visits to view and ...

Electronics Weekly previews some of the highlights of Embedded World, Nuremberg (25-27 February) Automotive technology is a strong theme for this international show in Nuremberg. Rohde & Schwarz (Hall 4, 4-218) will be showcasing its SMBV100B and SMW200A signal generators, used in the AVL Driving Cube, a simulation testbed for developing autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems. The Cube ...
