Rohde & Schwarz TS-ITS100 RF conformance test system

The R&S TS-ITS100 is the first fully automated test system for standard-compliant testing of RF components for the automotive industry in line with IEEE 802.11p, specifically designed for the standard-compliant testing of components for vehicle-to-vehicle applications and intelligent transport systems (ITS). Due to its compact size, the RF conformance test system can be used throughout the entire value chain - from R&D to precompliance and compliance testing.

The R&S CONTEST sequencer software, which was developed especially for RF conformance tests, makes it possible to verify compliance with regional standards such as ETSI EN 302 571 in the EU, IEEE 802.11-2012 in the USA or ARIB in Japan. The R&S TS-ITS100 also covers specific performance tests as defined by the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium, to verify the quality and reliability of 802.11p user equipment in travelling vehicles and their changing surroundings.

The R&S CONTEST software can be used to develop fully automatic test sequences by dragging and dropping the desired test cases into a test plan. Results can be summarised in clear and concise reports.

The R&S OSP-ITS switch matrix is integrated into the system and automatically switches all paths needed for the test, including the required filters. The R&S TS-ITS100 offers high measurement accuracy and fast test runs through the combination of the R&S SMW200A high-end vector signal generator, which generates the 802.11p signals, and the R&S FSV30 signal and spectrum analyser, which analyses the modulation quality of the signals.
