AGILENT Technologies has introduced the Infiniium 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes with 63 GHz on two channels and 33 GHz on four channels.
The new lineup includes 10 four-channel models ranging from 20 GHz to 63 GHz, all of which are bandwidth upgradeable. According to Agilent, the new scopes deliver the lowest noise and have the lowest jitter measurement floor in the oscilloscope industry.
At its maximum bandwidth the Q-Series breaks the 60-GHz barrier, with a -3 dB point of 63 GHz. The 33-GHz model allows engineers to simultaneously trigger on and capture signals on all four channels.
Key features of the new range of oscilloscopes:
- Direct digitization of M-band signals (60 GHz to 100 GHz).
- Capture of the third harmonic on 28-, 32- and 40-Gbps digital signals.
- Analysis of IEEE 802.3ba 40/100/400-GbE and Optical Internetworking Forum CEI 3.0 signals.
- Measurement of up to four differential channels in a single acquisition for unraveling difficult cross-talk problems.
- Direct measurement of voltage swings larger than 1V when high-bandwidth and general-purpose measurements need to be made with the same instrument.
The 90000 Q-Series has a new technology called RealEdge. RealEdge comprises a combination of new architectures, microcircuits and thin-film components, and advanced application of Agilent’s indium phosphide semiconductor process. It enables high-frequency capability while maintaining the industry’s lowest noise and jitter measurement floor (75 fs).
The 90000 Q-Series’ key specifications:
- Rise time (<7 ps).
- Noise floor (4.4 mV at 50 mV/div, 63 GHz).
- Jitter measurement floor (~75 femtoseconds)
