Rohde & Schwarz TSMU Radio Network Analyser (Drive Tester) for WCDMA, GSM and CW

In mobile radio networks, it must be possible to obtain accurate information about the receiving conditions of a mobile unit at any place and any time. The R&S® TSMU radio network analyser from Rohde & Schwarz provides outstanding performance independent of standards in a small unit. It meets the demands of network operators, regulatory authorities, railway carriers and infrastructure suppliers.

The measurement data is collected and statistically evaluated by the R&S® ROMES software from Rohde & Schwarz.

• Measurement speed and accuracy are considerably higher than what mobile phones can deliver in order to represent the real physical nature
• Mobile phones can only “see” what the base station tells them to see
• Hidden neighborhoods
• Pilot pollution and interference causes are not detectable
• Limited channels/carriers (one carrier per mobile and SIM card)
• Layer 1 and layer 2 decoding for better troubleshooting
• Spectrum analysis provides detection of external interferences
• No SIM card identification is required
• No costs
• No capacity is allocated
• Failure of a mobile phone leads to data loss
• Measurements are independent of mobile chipsets and provide unbiased reference data
• Higher level and time accuracy compared to mobile phone-based measurements
• Calibration is possible
• Use of only one unit for different networks and applications
• Cheaper compared to many dedicated units
