The new location, which replaces the original one in Shinjuku, has significantly enhanced facilities for service, repair, calibration and engineering support of test equipment as well as increased space for hosting customer events.
At the new office Rohde & Schwarz hosts demonstrations developed in collaboration with leading automotive industry partners. Noashi Saito, General Manager of Rohde & Schwarz Japan commented,“We are very proud of our new facility in Osaki, and we invite the Japanese automotive community to make the most of this resource and the talented staff who work here.”
EMC measurements under dynamic driving conditions with AIP Automotive
The electromagnetic emissions of vehicles, particularly EVs, change significantly depending on their operational state. Therefore, to get a true understanding of the EMC performance of an electric vehicle, it is essential to test it under dynamic driving conditions. A test system that combines EMC receivers and automation software from Rohde & Schwarz with the AIP EMC Chassis Dynamometer enables vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1s to obtain an evaluation of the EMC performance of their designs under realistic operational conditions. AIP has enhanced this system with R&S radar target simulators to also provide vehicle-in-the-loop testing of radars in a controlled environment. The new R&S office in Osaki has a dedicated space for calibration of EMC equipment and is near AIP’s new office, enabling fast servicing and support turnaround time for AIP.
Rohde & Schwarz strengthens in vehicle network compliance testing in Japan with GRL and Analog Devices
Rohde & Schwarz is further expanding its collaboration with Granite River Labs (GRL) and Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) to support in-vehicle network compliance testing in Japan. GRL, a provider of compliance test and certification services for standards like multigigabit Ethernet and Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA), has a history of utilizing Rohde & Schwarz test equipment. ADI, a global semiconductor leader, is working closely with Rohde & Schwarz globally to advance the adoption of the emerging OpenGMSL™ standard via the OpenGMSL Association.
The collaboration is supported by Rohde & Schwarz Japan's new expanded facilities and the availability of leading-edge oscilloscopes and vector network analyzers, designed to ensure fast and reliable standards-compliant testing, including solutions specifically tailored for the Japanese market. This will accelerate testing processes and facilitate the building and delivery of OpenGMSL-based solutions. The availability of local expertise and instruments is considered critical in supporting the global automotive ecosystem.
IPG Automotive and Rohde & Schwarz enhance autonomous driving radar testing capabilities
IPG Automotive (ipg-automotive.com), a leader in virtual test driving, partners with Rohde & Schwarz to integrate Automotive Radar Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing from the proving ground into the development lab. The collaboration combines IPG Automotive’s CarMaker simulation software with Rohde & Schwarz’s scalable AREG800A radar target simulator, the R&S QAT100 advanced antenna array, and the compact R&S RadEsT target simulator.
This combination provides vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers with the ability to simulate ADAS/AD scenarios, including those defined in Euro NCAP, in a controlled, safe, time-efficient, and cost-reducing environment. In the expanded office facilities in Osaki both companies jointly set up and demonstrate HIL systems alongside the development of local traffic scenario simulations specific to Japan.
MediaTek and Rohde & Schwarz expand automotive NTN testing to Japan
The automotive industry is actively exploring non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to provide ubiquitous wireless connectivity for always-connected vehicles. The capabilities of pioneering chipset developer MediaTek’s latest NR-NTN device have been demonstrated using the Rohde & Schwarz CMX500 radiocommunication tester, a versatile solution for testing various NTN technologies including NR-NTN, NB-NTN, and Direct-To-Cell (D2C, DTC). The CMX500 offers multiband and multi-orbit support, along with a dedicated NTN workspace for visualizing deployed networks and their parameters.
Rohde & Schwarz leverages its wireless and automotive expertise to help navigate the challenges associated with NTN, identify key vehicle components, and explain the role of testing in creating NTN-enabled vehicles. A global collaboration between MediaTek (mediatek.com) and Rohde & Schwarz, spanning Europe, North America, and China, is now expanding to Japan.
The office in Osaki will facilitate a greater number of projects for Japanese automotive partners, including faster support for local NTN projects with MediaTek. The R&S CMX500 empowers customers in Japan to test and optimize the entire NTN integration chain from chipsets and modules to antennas, TCUs, and vehicles and validates NTN vehicle connectivity tailored to the Japanese market.
