R&S CMU200 vs CMW500-comparison between CMU200 and CMW500

This page compares R&S CMU200 vs CMW500 radio communication sets and mentions comparison between CMU200 and CMW500.

Both CMU200 and CMW500 are used as radio communication test sets. They have both RF generator and RF analyzer modules. They will become complete system to test wlan, gsm, wcdma and lte compliant devices along with baseband generator and baseband analyzer applications.

CMW500 is the upgraded version of CMU200 and it is released after CMU200. The equipments support various RF conformance tests.
