Oscilloscopes - Overview Products and Suppliers
The following list shows which oscilloscope manufacturer supplies which kind of instruments. The frequency in the header specifies the maximum bandwidth. In this list we considered only manufacturers offering scopes with a bandwidth of more than 100 MHz. In case of USB, PXI/PXIe, and LXI we regarded only instruments which are explicitly specified as oscilloscope. There are many other instruments available which are specified as digitizer oder data acquisition modules and might be suitable for some applications.
4 Channel 20 GHz Sampling Oscilloscope
22 October 2014 - With the new PicoScope 9341 20 GHz Sampling Oscilloscope, engineers can analyze two differential or four single-ended high-speed signals. The instrument is ideal for measuring skew and crosstalk between differential pairs on serial buses such as HDMI, SATA and PCIe, and for testing signal integrity at differential and single-ended transceiver ports. Data rates up to 40 Gb/s can be viewed, with 5th-harmonic characterization possible up to 8 Gb/s.
USB-connected Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes
15 October 2014 - The new PicoScope 3000D Series Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes (MSOs) form a complete portable test system, with two or four analog channels and sixteen digital channels as well as a built-in arbitrary waveform generator. The PicoScope 3000D Series MSOs are available with analog bandwidths from 60 MHz to 200 MHz. Maximum digital input frequency is 100 MHz, equivalent to a data rate of 200 Mb/s (5 ns pulse width) on each channel.
Teledyne LeCroy introduced new 1 GHz, 10 GS/s Oscilloscope
14 October 2014 - Teledyne LeCroy introduced the WaveSurfer 10 oscilloscope with 1 GHz and 10 GS/s at €9,990/£8,640. The WaveSurfer 10 combines the MAUI advanced user interface with powerful waveform processing, in addition to advanced math, measurement and debug tools, to quickly analyze and find the root cause of problems.
Testing USB Interfaces with an Oscilloscope
10 October 2014 - Developing USB-capable devices and integrating their interfaces requires reliable, fast and easy-to-operate test solutions. The R&S RTO-K60 triggering and decoding option addresses this need for USB 1.0/1.1 and 2.0 as well as for the high-speed interchip (HSIC) version. This option together with the R&S RTO-K21 compliance test software and the R&S RTO-ZF1 test fixture set from Rohde & Schwarz is the ideal tool for developers who have to integrate USB interfaces.
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.

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.
