Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Advantest Selects Rohde & Schwarz to Verify High-Speed Soc Testers
August 11, 2022 | Rohde & SchwarzEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Advantest Corp. with headquarters in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, has selected the R&S RTP highperformance oscilloscope for mass production evaluation of high speed SoC testers. The R&S RTP is part of Advantest's continuous efforts to improve quality and was a key factor in updating the company’s verification environment to meet latest requirements. The decision for Rohde & Schwarz indicates that the long-term relationship between Advantest and Rohde & Schwarz will continue.
Advantest selected the R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscope for its excellent signal integrity and high acquisition rate. The R&S RTP features real-time processing with an in-house developed, high-performance, low-distortion A/D converter, an analog frontend and an exclusively developed, large-scale logic ASIC for the backend. Despite its compact form factor, the R&S RTP enables extremely accurate measurements at unprecedented speeds.
Advantest selected the R&S RTP 16 GHz bandwidth model for mass production evaluation of high-speed SoC testers. The unit has a high-speed rise time of 33 psec and a powerful, highly stable jitter analysis function with the latest decomposition algorithm, which enables simpler and more accurate system measurements. These benefits convinced Advantest to decide for the R&S RTP.
Jacques Jourda, Managing Director of Rohde & Schwarz Japan, says: "We are very honored to be providing our products to Advantest, the world's top supplier of SoC testers. The decision for the R&S RTP has further strengthened our long-term relationship with the company."
Noriaki Fukushima of the Advantest SoC Test Business Headquarters says: "The introduction of the R&S RTP and building of a new shipping inspection line helped strengthen our production line in response to increased demand. We were also able to enhance options for replacing aging production equipment. In the future, we will expand our use of the R&S RTP164 to promote robust operation of measuring instruments in production."
