Validation Solution for PCIe 5.0 and 6.0
22 April 2022 - Keysight Technologies announced an end-to-end PCIe test solution for digital development and senior engineers that enable the simulation, pathfinding, characterization, validation and compliance testing of PCIe designs. The new PCIe test solution leverages the company's physical layer-system simulation; physical layer interconnect, transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) test; and a new protocol layer test solution consisting of hardware and software products.
Accurate Measurement System for GaN and SiC Semiconductor Analysis
19 April 2022 – Teledyne LeCroy launched a new DL-ISO High Voltage Optically Isolated 1 GHz Probe and Power-Device test software, which when combined with their High Definition Oscilloscopes (HDO) offer the most accurate electrical characterization of gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices. The new probe has the best signal fidelity, lowest overshoot and best accuracy — 1.5% when combined with Teledyne LeCroy’s industry-leading 12-bit resolution HDOs, nearly twice as good as the only competitor. The 1 GHz bandwidth meets requirements to measure GaN device 1 ns rise times.
Bit Error Ratio Test Solution validates up to 1.6 Terabits per Second
05 April 2022 - Keysight Technologies introduced a new 120 Giga Baud (GBd) High-Performance Bit Error Ratio Test (BERT) solution (M8050A) for validating next generation chip deployments of up to 120 GBd for 1.6T (or one trillion bits per second) market with unachieved signal integrity. The solution uses Keysight's Infiniium 80 GHz UXR oscilloscope as an acquisition-based Error-Analyzer in combination with the M8050A. It supports non return to zero (NRZ) and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) 4, as well as PAM 6/8, which is likely required in 1.6T environment.
800G Test Solution for Validating Conformance of 112 Gbps Interfaces
24 March 2022 - Keysight Technologies announced the industry's first compliance test solution for validating 112 gigabit per second (Gbps) serial data center interface to the latest industry standards. The new 112 Gbps conformance test solution leverages Keysight's M8040A 64 GBaud high performance bit error ratio tester (BERT) with a N1060A Digital Communication Analyzer (DCA) for receiver testing and Keysight's Infiniium UXR-Series real-time oscilloscope for transmitter testing.
Rohde & Schwarz Oscilloscope Days return for 2022
22 March 2022 - Rohde & Schwarz will repeat the Oscilloscope Days in 2022, taking place on April 27 and 28. Building on the success of the previous events, the two-day program consists of webinars presented by technical experts, in a multi-lingual format. Free to attend and delivered live, the webcasts will be streamed in English, German, French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. The sessions include direct interaction with presenters and experts from Rohde & Schwarz and event partners Würth Elektronik and PE Systems.
PMK opens Office in USA
11 March 2022 - PMK Mess- und Kommunikationstechnik, a German independent manufacturer of electronic test and measurement equipment, opened a subsidiary in USA. Main products of PMK are oscilloscope probes. PMK America Corporation is located in Portland Oregon will provide technical advice for probing challenges and customized probing solutions for customers in the Americas. Many oscilloscope manufacturers outfit their devices with active and passive probes from PMK.
5G Analysis Software for Oscilloscopes
01 March 2022 – Tektronix announced the release of its SignalVu 5G NR analysis software for 6 Series B MSO oscilloscopes. Engineers can now perform critical 5G NR measurements per 3GPP specifications on the oscilloscopes they rely on to bring-up and characterize new electronic designs. The 5G software enables engineers to diagnose complex signal interactions on a single oscilloscope, reducing the need for painstaking correlation between instruments.

Oscilloscope History and Milestones
Oscilloscopes have been invented in the 1920s. Up to now this instrument encountered many innovations. In the beginning the most important manufacturers have been General Radio, DuMont, General Electric and Radio Corporation of America. Later Cossor and later Solartron dominated the market. Today the main players are Keysight, Tektronix and Teledyne LeCroy. Below we listed some important oscilloscope milestones.
