The new oscilloscope platform is intended to meet the need for accurate characterisation of high speed serial data beyond 10Gbit/s, and enhance optical modulation analysis of 100GbE where complex signaling requires accurate bit capture.
It represents Tektronix’ first commercial integration of its 8HP technology and promises that the new series of oscilloscopes will have the lowest noise and class-leading signal acquisition performance across multiple channels.
IBM’s 8HP technology is a 130nm SIGe process that offers twice the performance of previous generations. The first oscilloscopes using the new ASICs are expected to be available later this year.
