to four different test points.
Users can therefore compare
the power consumption of individual
subcomponents, such as an application
processor, the RF transmit unit and other
components, against the total power
consumption within a realistic signaling
scenario controlled by the R&S CMW500.
The power probe was designed
specifically for the R&S CMW family of radio communication
testers. When used in combination with the R&S CMWrun
automation software, long-term monitoring of automated
signaling test scenarios is possible, as needed for performance
tests, regression tests and acceptance tests. Even the test
scenarios for the new 3GPP features for reducing power
consumption in machine-to-machine applications, such as
power save mode (PSM) and enhanced discontinuous reception
(DRX), can now easily be measured and correlated. The solution
supports all prevalent mobile communications technologies with
connections in test, voice and data transfer mode.
The R&S RT-ZVC has a multichannel design. It measures power
by taking a voltage and a current reading and then multiplying
them in realtime. The power probe also
automatically calculates the minimum,
maximum, average and RMS values
for the voltage, current and power.
The probe is available with two or four
power measurement channels. The
individual current and voltage signals are
sampled at five megasample per second
(Msample/s), for a time resolution of
200 ns for each reading. As a result, even the smallest, most
transient of signal changes can be acquired, as needed for
example, to specify the start-up behavior of chip components.
The R&S RT-ZVC is designed for input voltages of ±15 V, and
the measurement range for input currents can be varied from
4.5 µA to 10 A. A vertical resolution of 18 bits for sampled
signals makes it possible to cover the required dynamic range
e.g. from nA to A. The power values calculated by multiplying
the current and voltage pairs are averaged (method selectable
by the user) and then output over the integrated USB interface.
This keeps the data volume under control even for long-term
acquisitions.
eliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. (“Jio”) and Samsung
Electronics, announced that they have won the
“Best Mobile Innovation for Emerging Markets”
from Global Mobile Awards 2017 at Mobile
World Congress 2017 for the digital movement
that Jio, with support from Samsung, is
bringing to India.
JioandSamsung’songoingeffortintransforming
India into a digitally empowered society by overcoming the
country’s digital divide has been recognized on the global stage
with this prestigious award. The two organizations have focused
on reaching the power of communication and information with
free voice and world’s lowest data rates across towns and rural
areas through the deployment of the world’s largest greenfield
LTE network in India.
In addition, Jio has focused on enabling an easy access to digital
life with customer-oriented applications and tariffs. Through its
invitational offers, millions of Indians were able to embrace a
digital lifestyle and helped Jio to rapidly expand its subscriber
Jio and Samsung Win “Best Mobile Innovation for Emerging
Markets” at Global Mobile Awards 2017
base to a record 100 million within 170 days
of launch.
As the sole vendor for Jio’s LTE radio access
network, Samsung worked with Jio at each
step of the process from network planning,
network expansion, interference analytics to
optimization. The LTE solutions provided by
Samsung were fully compliant with the 3GPP
LTE standards, with their performances already verified and
proven in other global markets.
“We are pleased to have won this prestigious award in joint effort
with Samsung Electronics, who have been a reliable partner
in our pursuit to creating a truly Digital India,” said Jyotindra
Thacker, President of Jio.
To fulfill the key intention of the project, of bringing India together
and improving elements that impact the quality of human lives,
the project plans to launch many more applications around the
fields of education, health, rural, livelihood and agriculture and
reach digital empowerment to the remotest corners of India.
