Instrument combines functionality of an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyser
Tektronix
MDO4000 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope
Tektronix has introduced a mixed-domain oscilloscope (MDO) that is designed to deliver the functionality of an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyser in a single instrument
According to the company, the MDO4000 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope Series gives engineers the ability to capture time-correlated analogue, digital and RF signals for a complete system view, helping them to rapidly solve complicated design issues.
Key specifications
- Engineers can replace both a scope and spectrum analyser with a single instrument
- RF input frequency range extends up to 6GHz and provides a capture bandwidth of 1GHz at all centre frequencies
- Users can see up to four decoded serial and/or parallel buses at one time on the same display
- Provides a complete time-correlated system view across both domains
- Allows designers to see the RF spectrum of a signal at any point in time within a long acquisition to see how the spectrum changes over time
- Makes it easy to characterise frequency-hop transitions, settling times and RF event timing relative to other system components and activities
