New RF test solution ensures quality of automotive wireless modules[Copy link]
The use of modules and devices with a wide variety of RF interfaces is growing in all kinds of vehicles. Because these modules must meet stringent reliability requirements, reproducible measurement results must be obtained during adjustment and final testing. With highly effective shielding and rigorous design, the new RF test chamber equipment from Rohde & Schwarz ensures that automotive modules with RF interfaces are free from interference during testing. It supports a wide range of standards, including ISM, GSM, CDMA, WLAN and Bluetooth.
Today, car buyers expect to buy well-made, reliable and, most importantly, safe communication and infotainment systems. The challenge facing current and future car manufacturers is to create reliable test methods to ensure the quality of these systems. As product life cycles become shorter and the in-vehicle electronics become more complex, designers need faster and more flexible solutions to meet the challenges of fast time to market. Rohde & Schwarz equipment and systems provide excellent measurement accuracy and measurement speed to meet these requirements. Figure 1: Rohde & Schwarz RF test system for tire pressure sensors.
