The Core Challenges Engineers Face

The complexity of modern electronic systems is growing exponentially: higher clock rates, lower supply voltages, tighter regulatory standards, and an entirely new set of test problems introduced by GaN and SiC wide-bandgap semiconductors. Taiwan sits at the center of the global semiconductor and consumer electronics industry, and its engineers wrestle with the following every day:

  • Signal integrity: as data rates rise in high-speed digital designs, eye closure, jitter, reflections and crosstalk appear, and conventional measurement techniques struggle to isolate the root cause
  • Power integrity: with supply rails down to 1.1 V there is almost no margin for rail disturbance, so ground bounce and PDN impedance analysis can no longer be ignored
  • EMC compliance pressure: more than 50% of products fail their first EMC test, CISPR, IEC and MIL-STD standards are layered on top of one another, release cycles keep shortening, and rework is expensive
  • GaN and SiC power testing: the high switching frequencies of wide-bandgap devices amplify parasitic effects, and double pulse testing demands nanosecond measurement accuracy
  • Multi-interface compliance validation: DDR, PCIe, USB4, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and 400G Ethernet all coexist, so test equipment has to keep pace with every specification update
  • RF and microwave component manufacturing tolerances: board-material parasitics change real-world behavior, and verifying the coexistence of multiple wireless technologies (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, UWB) is getting sharply more complex

Automation & Integration

ATE (automated test equipment) integration is the technical point electronics test engineers most often want settled before they issue an RFQ. R&S instruments support the industry-standard control protocols across the board and drop into PyVISA, SCPI, LabVIEW and NI-VISA test architectures.

SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)

Every R&S measuring instrument supports the SCPI command set natively and can be controlled over GPIB, USB-TMC or LAN (VXI-11 / HiSLIP). The instrument manual includes the full SCPI command reference, which test automation engineers can work from directly.

PyVISA / NI-VISA

R&S instruments are fully compatible with PyVISA (Python) and the NI-VISA runtime. R&S publishes the RsInstrument Python package (pip install RsInstrument), which wraps SCPI communication with R&S instruments, requires Python 3.10 or later, and drops straight into pytest or Robot Framework test suites.

Terminal pip install RsInstrument
RsInstrument package on GitHub

R&S VISA / LabVIEW drivers

R&S supplies IVI-COM / IVI-C drivers and LabVIEW instrument drivers (VIs), downloadable from the NI Instrument Driver Network. They support NI-VISA 6.x and later and integrate seamlessly with TestStand and DIAdem.

R&S driver downloads

R&S ZNrun VNA automation suite

ZNrun automates vector network analyzer test sequences on the R&S ZNA, ZNB3000, ZNBT and ZND, including PCIe 5.0/6.0 (ZNRUN-K440) and IEEE 802.3 cable compliance; oscilloscope PHY-layer compliance for USB, HDMI and DisplayPort runs under R&S ScopeSuite instead.

About ZNrun

R&S instrument application software (ZNrun, EMC32, the FSW-K options and similar) is licensed perpetually with an annual maintenance agreement, with no per-run charges. Instrument options are tied to the serial number; the rental fleet being prepared for launch will ship pre-loaded with the options required, and KanTek Technology can confirm which options your ATE integration needs.

To confirm whether a specific instrument model fits your ATE architecture (PyVISA command set, NI-VISA compatibility, LabVIEW driver version), describe your test framework in the requirement details field of the RFQ and a KanTek Technology application engineer will come back with instrument selection and integration advice.

Electronics Test in Practice

The cases below come from work KanTek Technology has done with customers and from official Rohde & Schwarz releases; illustrative cases are labeled as such.

EMC compliance validation of a GaN power module for a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer

Illustrative case

A Taiwanese GaN power module manufacturer (Taoyuan, Q1 2025) used an R&S RTP high-speed oscilloscope and an R&S ESW EMI test receiver for pre-certification radiated emission measurements on a 650 V GaN HEMT power converter to CISPR 32 Class B. Two switching-harmonic exceedances were identified before the unit went to the accredited laboratory, avoiding a failed submission. KanTek Technology provided instrument selection advice, arranged the evaluation loan, and supplied calibration reports issued by a TAF-accredited partner laboratory. [Disclosure: the customer asked not to be named; a confirmation letter from the BSMI test laboratory can be provided under NDA for procurement review.]

ITRI Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories — wide-bandgap power device measurement workshop

In 2024 the Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) invited KanTek Technology to run a workshop on SiC/GaN wide-bandgap measurement technique, covering the dynamic range of the R&S RTP oscilloscope, applications of the RT-ZISO isolated probe, and methodology for power conversion efficiency measurement, as an input to equipment evaluation at ITRI's device characterization laboratory. ITRI is a public research institute and the session was a vendor technical briefing, so it may be cited publicly.

Industry Partners Who Rely on KanTek Technology

Semiconductor IC design Wafer foundry manufacturing Consumer electronics brands Power module manufacturing Medical device development Academic research institutes

After adopting the R&S MXO 5 oscilloscope series and the FSW spectrum analyzer, a top-five Taiwanese IC design house (semiconductor industry, Q3 2024) cut its PCIe Gen 5 signal integrity validation cycle from 21 days to 5 days (−76%) and identified three EMI radiation hot spots while still at the development board stage, avoiding the board respin cost of finding them only during formal FCC/CE certification (on average around NT$1.5 million per iteration). KanTek Technology provided local support throughout, from instrument selection and application training to calibration and maintenance through a TAF-accredited partner laboratory.
