Small satellite test solutions

Small satellite testing

Small satellites with modern designs enable new services like global tracking, internet of things (IoT), remote sensing and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) that, in turn, facilitate new communication and data link technologies. As always, leading-edge improvements are followed by novel challenges when designing, manufacturing and operating these new satellites.

Rohde & Schwarz provides dedicated test and measurement solutions for testing and performance evaluation that cover the entire range of applications – from agile design of customized nanosatellites to production of large, low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations.. To learn more, Rohde & Schwarz experts are here to help.
