8GHz oscilloscope boasts one million waveforms/s acquisition rate
Delivered as a 4 GHz, 6 GHz or 8 GHz model the R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscope family combines signal integrity with a high acquisition rate. In standard acquisition mode, it can measure a million waveforms per second, making it more than a thousand times faster than other oscilloscopes in its class, claims the manufacturer, adding that it is the only instrument on the market that compensates transmission losses from the signal source to the oscilloscope (de-embedding) in realtime. The advantage is that the oscilloscope is still extremely fast even with signal correction activated. And thanks to its unique digital trigger architecture, it can precisely trigger on compensated signals. Mask tests, histograms and frequency domain analyses can be performed at high speed for fast results with high statistical reliability. Each unit includes 16 logic channels, four voltage channels and four current measurement channels in addition to the analog oscilloscope channels. The R&S RTP supports protocol analysis of serial bus interfaces and offers powerful spectrum and signal analysis functions. Thanks to its wide range of tools, users can test many different types of signals from complex circuits time-correlated with each other with just one T&M instrument, and find related errors faster. A sophisticated cooling concept combined with silent fans ensures the instrument remains quiet even at full load. To make it future-proof, measurement bandwidth, memory depth and a range of functions can easily be upgraded with hardware and software options.
