R&S®CMW500 - Production Test

Key facts

• 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
