MLX90632 will address, amongst others, very stringent requirements of medical applications. Smart device manufacturers can differentiate their products through the inclusion of accurate temperature measurement. Melexis has integrated an optical lens into the device that reduces the field of view, thereby enabling a higher operating distance and greater measurement accuracy. The MLX90632 will be used wherever it is important to accurately measure temperature, especially in thermally dynamic environments and when available space is limited. Potential applications can therefore be found in white and grey goods, room temperature monitoring in smart thermostats, server rooms or integration into portable electronics devices such as tablets and smartphones. Commenting on the new product release Joris Roels, Temperature Sensors Marketing Manager said: “Melexis has already shipped millions of infrared temperature sensing devices and this new IC builds upon our world class expertise, representing a significant milestone in our roadmap. The MLX90632 is a disruptive sensing technology in many applications, allowing leading manufacturers to differentiate their applications and address current and future end customer needs.”

bandwidth per component carrier of 100 MHz. Thus, the R&S CMW100 communications manufacturing test set with a measurement bandwidth of 160 MHz is ready for testing initial 5G NR sub-6 GHz wireless devices. Thanks to its high measurement speed, the R&S CMW100 is an ideal solution for high-volume production environments. The flexible testing solution is suitable for all types of wireless devices, supporting LTE, WLAN and Bluetooth besides 5G NR sub-6 GHz. This makes the R&S CMW100 a cost-effective solution for mass production of cellular and non-cellular (wireless connectivity) devices calibrated and verified in so-called non-signaling mode (analyzer/generator). Manufacturers of handsets and devices profit from a variety of measurement functionalities with a single investment in equipment, training and adaptation costs. Anton Messmer, Vice President Mobile Radio Testers at Rohde & Schwarz, said: “The evolution to 5G networks will employ a wider range of spectrum bands. Utilizing spectrum bands below 6 GHz is the decisive aspect of enabling deployments with reliable network coverage. The R&S CMW100 demonstrates Rohde & Schwarz capability to support 5G NR sub-6 GHz and will help accelerate the 5G ecosystem.” The latest 160 MHz version of R&S CMW100 is available now from Rohde & Schwarz. Dedicated vector signal analysis and generator software options supporting 5G NR sub-6 GHz will be available in 2018.

Rohde & Schwarz delivers 5G NR sub-6 GHz device testing platform Rohde & Schwarz, a leading supplier of test and measurement equipment, is enabling the testing and validation of sub-6 GHz 3GPP 5G new radio (NR) based devices. 3GPP’s 5G NR will support frequency ranges up to 52.6 GHz, but initial 5G designs will use frequencies below 6 GHz with a focus on 3.5 GHz. For these sub-6 GHz carrier frequencies, 3GPP currently discusses a maximum
