When devices under test outperform the instrument measuring them, progress stops. But Rohde & Schwarz keeps innovation moving with advanced test solutions that push beyond the limits of traditional measurement methods. At European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2026 in London, visitors can discover the company’s latest test solutions for RF and microwave components, as well as wireless, radar and satellite systems. Among them are solutions designed to help engineers address the growing demands of today’s electronic warfare (EW) and electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO).

London is calling once again for European Microwave Week, bringing together leading experts in RF, microwave, wireless and radar technology who are pushing the boundaries of design. From October 6 to 8, 2026, Rohde & Schwarz will present at booth B10 in the European Microwave Exhibition at Excel London its latest test and measurement solutions designed to help engineers stay ahead at the cutting edge of design and prepare systems for increasingly contested and complex spectrum environments.
Markus Lörner, Application Segment Manager RF & Microwave Components at Rohde & Schwarz, says: “Our EuMW 2026 motto, ‘Progress needs proof,’ reflects what many engineers are facing today: when DUTs push beyond the limits of conventional methods, innovation slows down. At the show, we will demonstrate how our advanced test solutions support customers across RF and microwave components, satellite and radar systems, phased-array antennas and emerging 6G sensing applications. As R&D moves toward higher frequencies, more integrated designs and increasingly demanding spectrum environments, precise and reliable measurement becomes a key enabler of progress.”
From EW and EMSO scenarios to advanced high-frequency characterization
A highlight at the Rohde & Schwarz booth is the FSWX signal and spectrum analyzer, displayed in a radar and electronic warfare (EW) test scenario within the context of electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO), focused on DRFM-based jammers. In this setup, an R&S SMW200A vector signal generator simulates radar signals, while the FSWX uses its multi-channel architecture to analyze jammer input and output signals simultaneously for a comprehensive assessment of deceptive signal behavior. The new, fully integrated R&S FSWX-KM700 pulse analysis option measures both channels in parallel and provides detailed insight into pulsed radar parameters, differences between the channels and the parameter trends over time.
In a second demonstration, Rohde & Schwarz will show how the game-changing multi-channel capabilities of the FSWX can be extended into the E-band and even up to 110 GHz for advanced high-frequency component characterization. Combined with the R&S SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator and the fully calibrated R&S FE110ST/SR external frontends, the setup supports wideband satellite component testing for next-generation payload and link applications and beyond, helping engineers capture the true characteristics of the device under test and overcoming the limits of traditional measurement equipment.
Advanced testing for low-noise sources and high-power RF frontends
Rohde & Schwarz will also showcase the enhanced R&S FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester platform for advanced component characterization. With support for residual and absolute phase noise measurements up to 56 GHz and further improved internal reference, R&S FSWP-B62, the solution offers high flexibility for testing synthesizers, OCXOs, DROs, VCOs and two-port components such as amplifiers. New options for integrating external signal sources as local oscillators can dramatically accelerate measurements, in some cases by up to a factor of 1,000, making the R&S FSWP well suited for the development of low-noise signal sources for radar, satellite, base station and high-speed digital applications.
Rohde & Schwarz will also present the new R&S SAM200 system amplifier for high-power test applications in the Ka- and V-band up to 53 GHz. In radar, satellite link and backhaul applications, RF frontends must deliver higher power levels so signals can travel farther and cover larger distances. Designed to support validation of these components, the amplifier extends test setups with higher signal power while maintaining precise and reliable level control. At EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase the R&S SAM200 in two demonstrations: one characterizing a high-power Ka-band amplifier with the R&S ZNA vector network analyzer in a fully integrated and calibrated test setup, and another highlighting the amplifier’s linearity in a wideband modulated test scenario with the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer.
Scalable test for SATCOM and phased-array systems
At EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will also highlight the R&S ZNB3000 vector network analyzer for measurement applications in satellite communications, Earth observation and radio astronomy. Its wide dynamic range and low trace noise provide the sensitivity required for demanding antenna characterization and radar measurements. For higher-frequency applications, optional millimeter wave converters extend coverage up to 330 GHz, including bands used by microwave and millimeter wave radiometers. Together, these capabilities make the R&S ZNB3000 a versatile and cost-effective solution for a broad range of measurement needs in the satellite and space sectors.
Rohde & Schwarz will also demonstrate a phased array antenna test setup highlighting fast and accurate OTA testing and antenna diagram pattern validation for advanced wireless and aerospace and defense applications. Featuring a 5G NR FR2 device under test, the solution combines the R&S ATS1800C CATR-based over-the-air test system with the R&S ZNA vector network analyzer to help reduce test complexity, increase throughput and preserve beamforming accuracy from development through verification to production. A special see-through version of the R&S ATS1800C will be on display at EuMW, featuring a plexiglass wall, giving visitors a rare look at the chamber’s internal CATR technology.
Micro-Doppler emulation for emerging sensing use cases
With the AREG800A radar target generator, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase new test capabilities addressing use cases like 6G integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). As 6G networks evolve beyond data connectivity toward environmental awareness, ISAC is emerging as a key technology for detecting and classifying objects using mobile infrastructure. In addition to emulating distance, speed and radar cross section (RCS), the solution can also generate micro-Doppler signatures, enabling more realistic test scenarios for applications such as drone detection and supporting the development of advanced sensing capabilities.
