Entry-level Mixed Signal Oscilloscope with 1 GSa/s
07 October 2014 - Fanless operation, 1MPts of memory depth and a 1 GSa/s realtime sampling rate - these are the key features of the new R&S HMO1002 mixed signal oscilloscope from Rohde & Schwarz. With a vertical sensitivity of 1 mV/div and integrated 128 Kpoint FFT, the instrument offers features that are exceptional in the three-figure price segment.
Motor Drive Power Analyzer Software for Oscilloscopes
06 October 2014 - Teledyne LeCroy announces three-phase Motor Drive Power Analyzer software for its HDO8000 oscilloscopes. The HDO8000 mixed-signal oscilloscopes, with 8 input channels, 12-bit resolution, and up to 1 GHz bandwidth, are the perfect solution for motor drive embedded control and power section debug. With the addition of three-phase power analyzer capability and motor speed and torque integration, the complete drive system can be more quickly and easily validated and debugged, and extensive drive and motor power and efficiency measurements may be performed.
Teledyne LeCroy introduces 500 MHz Touch Portable Oscilloscope
29 September 2014 - Teledyne LeCroy introduced the WaveJet Touch oscilloscope, providing an unprecedented combination of performance and price - 500 MHz for $5,000. Built on the popular WaveJet 300 oscilloscope platform, the WaveJet Touch is available in two models with 350 MHz or 500 MHz bandwidth, four channels, up to 5 Mpts of memory at 2 GS/s, and a 7.5" touch screen display.
Fast Analysis of MIPI RFFE Interfaces with Oscilloscopes
29 September 2014 - The R&S RTO-K40 MIPI RFFE serial triggering and decoding option from Rohde & Schwarz is a powerful solution that enables developers of RF frontends and modules with RF frontend (RFFE) control interface to verify and debug designs and put these components into operation. The R&S RTO oscilloscope with its high acquisition rates and minimal blind times is able to trigger on MIPI RFFE-specific protocol data. The decoded protocol content is displayed in an easy-to-read format.
DDR4 BGA Interposers for Infiniium Series Oscilloscopes
17 September 2014 - Keysight Technologies introduced DDR4 ball-grid array (BGA) probe interposer solutions for Infiniium Series oscilloscopes. Engineers can use the probes and oscilloscopes for debugging and characterizing DDR4 memory designs and testing device compliance with the JEDEC DDR4 standard.
NI announces new Software-Designed Instruments
11 September 2014 – National Instruments announced a range of new software-designed instrument: 8-channel oscilloscope, RF vector signal analyzer, frequency digitizer and a high-speed serial instrument. Two years ago, NI introduced the first software-designed instrument, the vector signal transceiver.
User-Extensible Frequency Domain Analysis for Real-Time Oscilloscopes
04 September 2014 – Keysight Technologies announced the availability of a frequency domain analysis (FDA) option, the industry’s first user-extensible spectrum frequency domain analysis application solution for real-time oscilloscopes. The FDA option extends the capabilities of Keysight Infiniium and InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes by enabling engineers to acquire live signals from the oscilloscope and visualize them in the frequency domain as well as make key frequency domain measurements.

Digitizer and Oscilloscope - Equal Alternatives?
Can a digitizer be used as an oscilloscope? What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a digitizer? Should I better use a digitizer or an oscilloscope in my next application? These are interesting questions and the best way to start to answer these is the look up the dictionary definition of an oscilloscope: "An electronic instrument used to measure changing electric voltages. It displays the waveforms of electric oscillations on a screen."

Precision Phase Noise Measurement with an Oscilloscope - Part 1
Often clock jitter induced from the power supply noise, signal routings, or other signals severely degrade the performance of the system. Clock generation and distribution in a FPGA for a high speed analog application is particularly prone to these issues. They manifest themselves in phase noise or clock jitter, which is the random variation of the period of a signal over time. Clearly, optimization of the design requires verification of the integrity of such clocks.
