High-speed digital interfaces are at the core of all electronic designs. Increasing data rates and growing integration density create new challenges for designs and manufacturing. Signal integrity is a key requirement, which needs to be ensured.
Testing high speed cables for data centers or consumer electronics is a highly complex task that requires precision, support for higher frequencies and a multiport setup. Conventional manual testing with a 4-port vector network analyzer is a time-consuming task and can be prone to human error.
Rohde & Schwarz has introduced a fully automated compliance test solution, which allows easy, precise and time-saving standards-compliance testing for PCIe 5.0 & 6.0 cable and connector. The solution combines the precision and high performance of Rohde & Schwarz vector network analyzers with the flexible R&S®OSP open switch and control platform and the R&S®ZNrun software suite to make measurement faster, easier, and more reliable.
