As a follow-on to the topic of dealing with noise, let’s look at the opposite end of the spectrum (literally). In the previous post, we started out looking at noise coupling from an inexpensive power ...

Oscilloscope measurement parameters provide accurate measurements of acquired waveforms. Most digital oscilloscopes offer around twenty-five standard parameters like frequency, peak-to-peak amplitude, ...

Ok, you want to get an oscilloscope. Where do you start? This TechXchange includes content that will be useful for the operation of a scope in your test environment. This includes considerations like ...

Modern oscilloscopes and digitizers are getting better and better. Higher bandwidth, better vertical resolution, and longer acquisition memories. Not to mention more firmware tools for ...

For use with the DPO7000 and DPO/DSA70000 digital oscilloscopes, SignalVu vector signal analysis software promises to easily characterize and validate wideband and microwave spectral events. Of note, ...

Jitter is a short-term variation in the timing of a digital signal from its nominal value. There are two main types of jitter, random jitter and deterministic jitter. Random jitter is unbounded, that ...

How to use DC-coupling for RF sampling ADCs. How to improve system linearity. Higher data rates in wireless communication systems and the use of narrower pulses in radars to resolve close targets ...

Making ripple measurements has traditionally been using an oscilloscope. For a number of technical reasons, an oscilloscope, in general, is not necessarily the best choice for measuring ripple. These ...

Today’s automobiles are an amalgamation of technology from three different centuries: combustion engines from the 19 th, electrical systems from the 20 th, and electronics from the 21 st. The rapid ...
