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

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.

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
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
