Product overview
The R&S®CMA180 is a universal radio test set that covers analog and digital radio systems on a single platform. It tunes from 0.1 MHz to 3 GHz and supports the mainstream digital standards DMR, APCO P25, NXDN and TETRA, and it also performs avionics measurements on ILS, VOR and marker beacon signals as well as VoIP to EUROCAE ED-137B/C. A built-in spectrum analyzer with tracking generator, I/Q recording and playback and vector signal analysis make it suitable for public safety, land mobile radio (LMR), aircraft maintenance and RF component development. The intuitive graphical interface sets the analysis parameters as soon as the operator picks the standard under test, and the R&S®CMArun software turns the instrument into a fully automated test station for service and production work.
Key features
- One instrument covers complete transceiver measurements for analog (AM / FM / PM / SSB / CW) and digital (DMR / APCO P25 / NXDN / dPMR / TETRA) radios
- Built-in swept spectrum analyzer and tracking generator perform RF spectrum analysis with no external add-on module
- Avionics measurements: ILS (LOC / GS), VOR and marker beacon signal generation and measurement, with VoIP EUROCAE ED-137B/C support
- I/Q signal recording and playback captures signals in the field and replays them in the lab
- Vector signal analysis (VSA): constellation diagram, EVM and modulation quality assessment in one instrument
- The intuitive GUI sets the analysis parameters automatically, cutting operating complexity and operator error
- R&S®CMArun automation software runs batch test scripts for production lines and scheduled maintenance
- Optional battery pack and a DC 10 V to 30 V supply suit field and flight line work
- Withstands up to 150 W input power, protecting the measurement path when testing high-power transmitters
Typical applications
- Public safety and land mobile radio (LMR): test and service of DMR, APCO P25, NXDN and TETRA digital radio transceivers
- Avionics maintenance: verification of ILS (LOC / GS), VOR and marker beacon ground stations and airborne equipment, and voice over IP (VoIP) communication quality
- FM / AM radio transceiver testing: factory test, service acceptance and scheduled calibration of analog radio systems
- Digital waveform transmit and receive testing: functional verification and modulation quality measurement (EVM, constellation diagram)
- RF component and system development: filter, amplifier and antenna characterization using the spectrum analyzer and tracking generator
