Description

The DSA8300 Series Sampling Oscilloscope, when configured with one or more electrical sampling modules, provides complete test solutions for multi-channel, high-bandwidth electrical applications. This highly configurable solution is well suited for debugging, characterizing and analyzing components, modules and systems with signaling rates at 10, 40 and even 100 Gb/s. The 80E00 family of electrical sampling modules provide a wide variety of capabilities, allowing the user to configure a test solution specifically adapted to their application.

Sampling modules: 80E11, 80E11X1, 80E09B, 80E07B, 80E03, and 80E03-NV

The 80E09B and 80E07B are dual-channel modules with remote samplers, capable of 450 µVRMSnoise at 60 GHz sampling bandwidth, and 300 µV at 30 GHz sampling bandwidth. Each small form factor remote sampler is attached to a 2-meter cable to minimize the effects of cables, probes, and fixtures, allow close location of the sampler to the DUT, and enable best signal fidelity. User-selectable bandwidth settings (60/40/30 GHz on 80E09B and 30/20 GHz on 80E07B) offer optimal noise/bandwidth trade-off.

When used with Tektronix 80SJNB Jitter, Noise, and BER software, these modules enable separation of both jitter and noise into their components, understanding precise causes of eye closure, and obtaining highly accurate extrapolation of BER and 3-D eye contour. When used with the 82A04B phase reference module, time-base accuracy can be improved down to <100 fsRMSjitter, which together with the 300 µV noise floor and 16 bits of resolution ensures the highest signal fidelity for the measured signals.
