Developers can use the R&S CMW500 to perform extensive tests on their Bluetooth products and optimize their design before taking it to a Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility. The test platform offers unparalleld flexibility since the parametric test concept allows developers to set all the parameters themselves. Thanks to the easy- to-use R&S CMWrun sequencer software tool, they can also use the compact solution to perform automated prequalification tests for Bluetooth Basic Rate, Enhanced Data Rate and Bluetooth Low Energy in line with Bluetooth core specifications for versions 1.2, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0+HS, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2. The extremely fast R&S CMW500 greatly benefits developers, e.g. when performing the complex spectrum measurements that are part of the Bluetooth qualification tests. The R&S CMW500 delivers the first test results in less than one second, which simplifies optimization tasks. The solution is also ideal for general integration and coexistence tests, for example, to check whether WLAN and Bluetooth transmitters in certain frequency bands interfere with each other. New R&S CMW-KS602 option for Bluetooth audio tests Those who do not have their hands free when using a computer or driving rely on Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth hands-free car kits to make telephone calls. Manufacturers of headsets or hands-free car kits can now ensure the quality of their products by using the R&S CMW500 to test the audio properties of their products as well as to performRF signaling tests. The Rohde & Schwarz test platform can

consumption. At the same time, embedded Secure Element (eSE) chips protect security-critical functionalities of the mobile device. They enable secured transfer of sensitive payment credentials for contactless payment, convenient biometric authentication of the user and new applications such as mobile ticketing. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is Samsung’s latest premium smartphone introduced at Mobile World Congress 2016. The Galaxy A devices were already launched in December 2015 and are being rolled out worldwide. Trailblazer for mobile payment Embedded Secure Elements are becoming a mainstream security solution for NFC (Near Field Communication) applications. According to IHS estimates the number of smartphones shipped with embedded NFC secure Elements is projected to increase from 427 million today to 1,620 million in 2020 (NFC Report 2015). Consumers’ ease-of-use and trust in secured mobile services is expected to significantly increase the acceptance of mobile payment. Follow the Snyder family Smartphones and wearables are part of our everyday lives. On the occasion of the Mobile World Congress, Infineon has followed a day in the life of the fictitious Snyder family – also visiting Barcelona. During the day, the family’s smart helpers are repeatedly put to use. It is in this way the reader also discovers the contribution Infineon makes with its products in the areas of security, high frequency, sensors, power management and mobile infrastructure. With this, we make life easier, safer and greener.

Rohde & Schwarz presents multistandard test solution for RF and audio tests on Bluetooth® modules The modules used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications often combine Bluetooth® with other wireless interface technologies. The R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester is the only test platform on the market to offer a one-instrument solution for testing all cellular and non- cellular standards and Bluetooth. Rohde & Schwarzhas now expanded it leading test platform to include Bluetooth audio tests for manufacturers of Bluetooth headsets and audio car kits. Today, Bluetooth modules are used in mobile, automotive, smart home and other IoT applications. Accordingly, manufacturers and integration specialists have higher testing requirements. Rohde & Schwarz helps them to optimize test performance, minimize test times and thus save considerable costs. The R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester is the only testing solution that combines all 38 RF signaling tests defined by the Bluetooth SIG together with other cellular technologies such as LTE, LTE-Advanced and WCDMA as well as non-cellular technologies such as WLAN and GNSS. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has qualified the solution for RF measurements. RF signaling tests and fast spectrum measurements
