Company Overview

Rohde & Schwarz, headquartered in Munich, is a leading German manufacturer of test and measurement, broadcasting and secure-communications equipment. Founded in 1933, the company's spectrum analysers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, network analysers and EMC test systems are widely regarded as reference instruments in RF engineering.

History

Founded by Lothar Rohde and Hermann Schwarz as a laboratory for RF measurement, the company produced its first instruments in the 1930s and grew into a global supplier of radio-monitoring and broadcast technology. Its entry into oscilloscopes with the R&S scope families brought RF-grade front-end design into time-domain measurement, and its EMC receivers define compliance testing worldwide.

Strengths

Precision and spectral purity: analysers with exceptionally low phase noise, generators with clean output, and calibration discipline throughout. The oscilloscope range emphasises signal integrity at high bandwidths with integrated spectrum analysis, making it attractive for power-electronics work where switching edges and EMI are examined on the same instrument.

Product Portfolio

• Spectrum and signal analysers (up to mmWave frequencies)
• Vector signal generators and RF sources
• Oscilloscopes with integrated spectrum and power analysis
• EMC receivers, LISNs and compliance test systems
• High-voltage differential probes and current probes for scope use

For inverter and converter development, R&S instruments support both the time-domain switching analysis and the frequency-domain emission testing required for certification.
