(PCI-Express, SATA etc.)
Engineers are often frustrated by test equipment limitations
preventing them from seeing the true performance of their
designs. This can be the case with oscilloscopes used to
analyze signals from high-speed electrical communications
systems. As data rates increase, these problems can get even
worse. The Agilent 86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer is a
plug-in module used with the 86100C Infiniium DCA-J Digital
Communications Analyzer that provides an ideal solution to
this accuracy problem. The 86108A has a bandwidth in excess
of 33 GHz, channel noise of less than 300 uV, and residual
jitter at an astounding level of under 100 femtoseconds
(60 fs typical)! This provides a "gold standard" for waveform
accuracy and translates into confidence that the waveform
displayed by the oscilloscope is a faithful representation of
the true device performance for today’s technology as well
as future generations.
