High-Speed Scopes Race To 32 GHz

摘要

Oscilloscopes are versatile, workhorse test instruments,rnideal for high-speed circuitrncharacterization. But for microwave measurements, they have rarely been considered on par with a vector network analyzer (VNA).With the introduction of the Infiniium 90000 X-Series of digital oscilloscopes from Agilent Technologies, that thinking may change. These high-performance oscilloscopes come in 10 models with real-time bandwidths ranging from 16 to 32 GHz. They feature sampling rates as high as 80 GSamples/s and the support of a new probing system with capability through 30 GHz.
