Tektronix claims this delivers the fastest rise times of any real-time oscilloscope on the market, as required for accurate characterisation of high speed optical, RF and serial data measurements beyond 20 Gb/s data rates.
“By combining the industry’s best signal integrity and timing precision in a real time oscilloscope, we are giving our customers the breakthrough test instrumentation they need to complete their most cutting-edge designs accurately and with greater confidence,” said Roy Siegel, general manager, Oscilloscopes, Tektronix.
“Further, we are continuing on the path of innovation with leading edge ASIC implementation design using 8HP SiGe technology to deliver outstanding levels of accuracy.” With fiber speeds now at 100 Gb/s and beyond, engineers are trying to accurately verify Optical Modulation techniques for efficient fiber transport.
The DPO/DSA70000D provides the 4-channel accuracy required for PM-QPSK modulation analysis. The 70000D Series works with Optametra’s (a Tektronix technology partner) Coherent Lightwave Signal Analyzer for visualization and measurement of optical PM-QPSK or QAM16 and other complex-modulated signals.
