The newest test equipment available to design and test engineers includes increased channel count power supplies and pico-amp capable measurement devices. Furthermore, the push towards higher frequencies is now more possible with additional spectral analysis devices capable of larger signal analysis bandwidths and higher operating frequencies.
Rohde and Schwarz Releases a 4-Port Power Supply
An essential piece of engineering equipment, the power supply, can be found on most benches and any lab regardless of engineering disciplines. The new NGP family of power supplies is designed to help the designers boost their efficiency. Five different models are available featuring two and four channels, as well as a range of output power handling capabilities from 400W to 800W. Furthermore, all models feature a 5” high resolutions touch screen display, protection functions, parallel and serial operation, and a range of functionality features. Some of these functionality features include ramp functions, delayed outputs, data logging, and arbitrary functions. Additional features include I/O triggering and remote control capabilities.
Rohde and Schwarz Hardware Option Allows 8.3GHz Analysis BW
Targeted applications for the ultra-wideband signal analysis include automotive RADAR chirp analysis, pulse measurements of aerospace and defense RADAR systems, research for 5G wireless communication, satellite payload tests, and amplifier distortion testing.

Anritsu Unleashes Test Instrument For Mass Production
One of Anritsu’s latest offerings, the MT8870A, is a complete test solution for wireless devices. The box is designed to support volume manufacturing by featuring four test modules, of which each can be independently controlled by a host PC. Each module features a vector signal generator and a vector signal analyzer that allow Tx and Rx testing for the device under test. Furthermore, each module also features an audio analyzer and audio generator for additional testing. Although there are four different modules, each one shares the same power supply, chassis, and bus interface to allow for a more robust testing solution. A plethora of wireless standards is supported, which include but are not limited to 5G NR sub-6GHz, LTE, LTE-V2X, NB-IoT, CaT-M, V2X 802.11p, WCDMA, and Bluetooth.
