Application Card Overview

As PCIe 5.0 and 6.0 data rates increase, high-speed cable assemblies are increasingly used to reduce PCB signal loss and support longer transmission paths. This application card explains how Rohde & Schwarz automates PCIe cable and connector compliance testing with VNA-based multiport measurements, accurate deembedding, pass/fail reporting, and scalable support for custom designs and future PCIe 7.0 requirements. Download the application card to learn how automated testing can simplify compliance, improve accuracy, and scale for future requirements.
