Scope gives 32 GHz bandwidth
28 May 2010
Agilent has introduced what it claims to be the World’s fastest real time oscilloscope.
The Infiniium 9000 X-Series includes ten models in the ‘true analogue’ bandwidth range from 16 GHz to 32 GHz and feature the lowest noise and have the lowest jitter measurement floor in the industry.
The accompanying probing system offers browsing to 30 GHz with a full range of accessories rated to 28 GHz and the ability to upgrade bandwidth in the future. In addition, the 9000 X-Series scopes offer more than 40 measurement-specific application packages including jitter, triggering, measurement, and analysis tools and full compliance certification test suites.
Engineers working with high-energy physics, emerging wireline communication standards, and high-speed serial data links, such as USB, SAS, or PCI Express, will be interested in these oscilloscopes to capture fast, singleshot events and to make critical measurements like jitter while ensuring compliance to industry standards for interoperability. With data rates in the next few years extending beyond 10 Gbps, engineers need oscilloscopes that can deliver higher-bandwidth measurements.
Agilent invested in a proprietary indium phosphide (InP) integrated circuit process to enable high-frequency capability while yielding the industry’s lowest noise floor and jitter measurement floor. Custom aluminum nitride packaging technology combines five InP chips in the front-end multichip module which incorporates unique noise shielding and heat dissipation techniques.
