Universal test capabilities

With its frequency range from 100 kHz to 3 GHz, the R&S®CMA180 is ideal for testing all common analog and digital radio systems. Input levels up to 150 W are no problem for the R&S®CMA180. The flexible internal switching capabilities for the audio and RF paths make the R&S®CMA180 suitable for a wide range of test requirements. Users can configure the internal generators, external audio sources, filters and measurements according to the given application. In the predefined test scenarios for receiver, transmitter and duplex tests, the RF and audio paths are preconfigured. This saves time and eliminates configuration errors for standard test cases.

Features & benefits

Versatile RF measurements

Sweeping spectrum analyzer and tracking generator

The R&S@CMA180 features a built-in sweeping spectrum analyzer. Extensive configuration options makethis analyzer a universal tool for testing all types of DUTs. The spectrum analyzer has two operatingmodes: full span and user-defined spans. The zero span mode enables analysis in the time domain. Incombination with the triggers, transients can be displayed. The built-in tracking generator makes it easyto determine the frequency response of RF components.

Public Safety and LTE testing

Digital receiver and transmitter measurements

The R&SeCMA180 can generate test signals for digital radio standards. Signal content can beconfigured to match test requirements. Signals can carry audio test tones or pseudo random bitsequences (PRBS), for example. Signaling parameters such as DlR color code can be configured onthe instrument's intuitive GUl, making it easy to perform receiver tests for digital standards such asDMR.NXDN.APCO P25 and dPMR.

The integrated vector signal analyzer demodulates digital signals and delivers results, including eyediagrams, symbol distribution and scalar values such as frequency deviation and EVM.This allows theR&S@CMA180 to analyze a wide range of digital signals. The user simply selects the standard to betested, and the test set automatically sets the reguired analyzer parameters. The R&SeCMA180 supportsDMR, dPMR. NXDN, APCO P25, TETRA and LTE. Digital and analog measurements are started at thepush of a button. Results are displayed in an overview and in detailed graphs and diagrams.

Test automation and tuning

R&SeCMArun is available for test sequence control. lt provides a graphical user interface forprogramming a test sequence. Individual settings and measurement tasks can be configured andarranged in a specific sequence. Sequences, loops and conditional queries help users easily create andexecute complex test sequences. Each setting and measurement value is logged and then summarizedand stored in a report, For measurements with limit values, pass or fail indicators can be displaved. Withno configuration and the simple click of a button R&S CMA180 performs complete tuning of FM, APCOP25 and LTE functionality of L3Harris radios (XL-200P/M,XL-185P/M,XG-100M).

Mobility

The R&SeCMA180 can be equipped with an AC power supply for operation at 110 V to 250 V or a DCpower supply for operation at 10 V to 30 V. Equipped with a DC power supply, the R&SeCMA180 canalso be powered via a vehicle's power supply, The DC power supply can be connected to an externalAC/DC converter for AC operation at 110 V to 250 V. An optional battery pack ensures maximummobility and turns the R&SeCMA180 with DC power supply into a portable tester that can be broughtdirectly to the DUT.

Avionics testing

ILS, VOR marker beacon and VolP

Its outstanding signal quality makes the R&SCMA180 an extremely versatile radio tester for aircraft.The R&SeCMA180 can analyze lLS, VOR and marker beacon signals for aircraft landing systems as wellas airborne radio signals. Equipped with a battery and antenna, the R&SeCMA180 is a standaloneinstrument that is ideal for aircraft maintenance. The R&SeCA180 incorporates a VolP generator andanalyzer in line with EUROCAE ED-137B/C The VolP interface is fully integrated in the R&SeCMA180.
