Rohde & Schwarz has received approval from the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) for its USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 transmitter (Tx) and (receiver) Rx compliance test solution. This approval underlines the company’s commitment to providing high-quality test and measurement solutions for the USB ecosystem.

The R&S RTP-K101 for Tx and R&S RTP-K102 for Rx enables manufacturers to test their USB devices for compliance with the USB 3.2 standard, using the R&S real-time transport protocol (RTP) oscilloscope from Rohde & Schwarz. The software option includes a range of test cases and scenarios that cover all aspects of electrical compliance testing of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Tx and Rx. They are implemented in the R&S ScopeSuite software, which controls all needed hardware to carry out these tests, including third-party bit error rate testers (BERT) required for receiver testing. R&S ScopeSuite features illustrated step-by-step instructions which guide users in terms of optimum setup and connection to test fixtures to obtain reliable test results in line with USB-IF test specifications.

The R&S RTP-K101 for Tx and R&S RTP-K102 for Rx compliance test options for USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 are available from Rohde & Schwarz and are part of the company’s extensive solutions portfolio for USB design and compliance testing. Rohde & Schwarz already has approval from the USB-IF for USB 2.0 transmitter and receiver testing as well as for USB cable and connector testing.
