Key facts

  • Frequency range for monitoring and TDOA from 8 kHz to 40 GHz (53 GHz with R&S®CS-MC53) and for AoA direction finding from 300 kHz to 8.5 GHz
  • Up to 2 GHz real-time bandwidth for monitoring next-generation wideband signals
  • Outstanding ITU-compliant RF performance and dynamic range for the most challenging spectrum environments
  • Extremely fast panorama scan speeds of up to 2.6 THz/s
  • Wideband I/Q data streaming of up to 2 GHz via 100GE I/Q interface

Exceptional performance for next-generation radio monitoring

The R&S®ESMW ultra wideband monitoring receiver is the perfect solution to address future trends and challenges in spectrum monitoring. It covers the wide frequency range from 8 kHz to 40 GHz with an outstanding real-time bandwidth of up to 2 GHz. The frequency range can be further extended up to 53 GHz with the R&S®CS-MC53 with up to 500 MHz real-time bandwidth. In combination with Rohde & Schwarz single-channel direction finding (DF) antennas, it supports angle of arrival (AoA) direction finding from 300 kHz to 8.5 GHz. Thanks to its exceptional ITU-compliant RF performance, modular upgradability, and rich feature set, the R&S®ESMW provides the advanced capabilities needed for reliable measurements of current and upcoming wideband signals in high-density spectrum environments.
