Rohde & Schwarz’s Test Solutions Approved by Qualcomm

Rohde & Schwarz technology group’s signal generators and analyzers—R&S SMW200A and R&S SMM100A vector signal generators and the R&S FSW and R&S FPS signal and spectrum analyzers—have been approved by Qualcomm for testing the Qualcomm® QRU100 5G RAN Platform, an O-RAN compliant solution with architecture flexibility designed to facilitate scalable and cost-effective 5G network deployments. OEMs providing RUs for Open RAN infrastructure adopting the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform can be confident that these Rohde & Schwarz solutions meet the necessary sub-6 GHz test requirements for design verification and production.

Several Rohde & Schwarz test solutions have been approved by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc in their latest Qualcomm® Development Acceleration Resource Toolkit (QDART) release for testing the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform in the 5G NR FR1 frequency range. OEMs who integrate the solution from Qualcomm Technologies in their radio units (RU) can now rely on the R&S SMW200A and R&S SMM100A vector signal generators and the R&S FSW and R&S FPS signal and spectrum analyzers during design verification testing (DVT) and production testing.

Deploying 5G networks with infrastructure that meets modern demands comes with major challenges, as achieving the right balance between high capacity, low latency, and cost efficiency becomes increasingly difficult. The Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform is a comprehensive modem-RF solution that aims to address these challenges, helping operators and OEMs enable flexible network deployments by delivering O-RAN-compliant 5G solutions. The platform features support ranging from mmWave to sub-6 GHz Massive MIMO with 64T64R capabilities to 4T4R Remote Radio Heads (RRH) to enhance coverage, improve cell-edge data speeds, and increase the overall network capacity. It is designed to enhance speed in the rollout of 5G networks with high-performance O-RAN compliant infrastructure products.
