Product overview

The R&S®TS8997 is the leading platform for regulatory testing of devices in ISM bands to ETSI and FCC standards, and the first choice for certifying ISM band devices. At its core is the R&S®OSP-B157W8 PLUS 7.5 GHz module with up to eight channels, built around a printed-circuit RF switch board with solid state relays (SSR) that gives flexible multi-port access to the devices under test (DUT), with attenuators, couplers and combiners integrated for signal conditioning. The R&S®OSP-B157WX extension module takes frequency measurement up to 40 GHz. The whole system is controlled from R&S®WMS32 software, which handles path switching, instrument remote control, automated measurement execution, results evaluation and report generation, so tests run far more efficiently.

Key features

  • Automated certification test platform for ISM band devices, measuring up to 7.5 GHz, or up to 40 GHz with the extension module
  • Covers WLAN IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax and Bluetooth® measurements in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands
  • Full support for the ETSI regulatory standards EN 300 328, EN 301 893, EN 303 687, EN 300 220-2 and EN 302 502
  • Full support for the FCC regulatory standards FCC §15.247 and FCC §15.407, including dynamic frequency selection (DFS)
  • Solid state relay (SSR) RF switching architecture with up to eight DUT ports for flexible configuration
  • R&S®WMS32 software automates path switching and instrument remote control and generates measurement reports automatically
  • Consistent RF measurement conditions from R&D through to conformance verification shorten the certification cycle
  • Reliability proven in hundreds of test systems worldwide, a platform in wide industry use
  • Expert mode (K09) lets engineers edit the test settings and measurement templates for custom requirements
  • An SLA service contract is available, covering 24/7 issue reporting, technical support and software update maintenance

Typical applications

  • ETSI and FCC regulatory conformance certification of WLAN devices (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax)
  • RF performance and regulatory compliance measurements on Bluetooth® devices
  • EMC and RF compliance verification of IoT wireless devices in the ISM bands
  • Type approval testing of wireless video transmission equipment and radio remote control devices
  • Automated dynamic frequency selection (DFS) radar signal detection testing (FCC §15.407(h), ETSI EN 301 893)
  • One platform for RF characterization during development and for final regulatory conformance verification
