All wireless devices must be tested for radiated spurious emissions (RSE) to verify compliance with national and international standards such as ITU, ETSI and FCC. The configuration required is similar to an EMI measurement setup, with the additional challenging task of measuring the low level spurious emissions in presence of the carrier frequency of a wireless device. The R&S®TS8996 RSE test system handles these tasks with a single setup and covers all relevant carrier frequencies and bandwidths used in wireless communications.

Using Machine Learning (ML) powered by Artificial Intelligence for signal processing tasks in wireless communication really is beginning to move from theory to practice. Watch this video for a demonstration of the first hardware setup capable of validating the performance of a self-training neural receiver.

As DisplayPort evolves to support ultra-high resolutions and increased data rates, robust compliance testing is essential to ensure interoperability across devices and interconnects. This application note provides a structured overview of physical-layer testing for DisplayPort source transmitters and passive cables, aligned with VESA CTS v2.1. The note covers key test procedures using Rohde & Schwarz solutions, including oscilloscope-based measurement at standardized test points, automated test execution with ScopeSuite, and signal integrity debug via equalization and jitter decomposition. It further details cable characterization using mixed-mode S-parameter analysis on a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), with support for simulated eye diagrams and TDR-based impedance diagnostics. Practical setup examples and product references are provided to help engineers perform repeatable, standards-compliant DisplayPort PHY validation.

Reverberation Chambers (RVC) have become popular as an alternative to Anechoic Chamber (AC) facilities for electromagnetic emission & immunity tests. Unlike AC, RVC reflects waves creating multipath environment. EMC testing using reverberation chamber is accepted in various EMC test standards across different industries. The RVC is cost effective allowing high field strength generation without excessive amplification needs, eliminates the need for complex positioning of antennas and DUTs increasing test speed and simulates real-world electromagnetic environments more accurately. To ensure accurate and efficient testing, specialized EMC test software is required for data acquisition, automation, and analysis. This application note describes how to setup Elektra and perform measurements in RVC.
