Agilent lancerer rekord-oscilloskop
Agilent annoncerer nu Infiniium Z serien af oscilloskoper, der kan synkroniseres til at måle op til 40 kanaler simultant med op til 63 GHz real-time oscilloskopbåndbredde (in english).
Agilent Technologies has introduced its Infiniium Z-Series oscilloscopes, which can be synchronized to measure up to 40 channels simultaneously with a maximum 63-GHz real-time oscilloscope bandwidth (on up to 10 oscilloscopes). With industry-leading noise and jitter measurement floors, the new oscilloscopes enable engineers to effectively test devices that incorporate the newest technologies and achieve new performance milestones.The Z-Series includes 10 models ranging from 20 to 63 GHz, all of which are bandwidth-upgradable to 63 GHz. The Z-Series also features significantly faster processing and a next-generation user interface.
- The Z-Series further solidifies Agilent’s leadership in the high-end oscilloscope market, says Jay Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Oscilloscope and Protocol Division.
- With its processing power and new user interface, the new series helps engineers bring products using emerging technologies to market significantly faster. Several Z-Series oscilloscopes have already been deployed around the world and are now the go-to instrument in those laboratories.
Key capabilities includes:
o Sufficient bandwidth to capture the third harmonic on 28-, 32- and 40-Gbps digital signals;
o Next-generation user interface to analyze emerging technologies, including spatial modulation;
o Optional synchronization port to measure up to 40 channels simultaneously;
o Capacitive touch screen and touch-screen-friendly controls to improve the user experience; and
o USB 3.0 offload speeds, making it significantly faster to offload and analyze data.
The Z-Series leverages key technologies used in the 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes. They include RealEdge technology, which comprises a combination of Agilent-proprietary architectures, next-generation microcircuits/thin-film components, and advanced application of Agilent’s indium phosphide semiconductor process. RealEdge enables high-frequency capability while maintaining the industry’s lowest noise and jitter measurement floors (75 fs).
These new oscilloscopes allow engineers to take advantage of Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes’ industry-leading hardware and software advancements that have been years in the making. These improvements include seamless integration of elements such as:
o The ability to join multiple Z-Series oscilloscopes together using Agilent’s exclusive software to form a system of 40 channels or more (N8822A);
o Compatibility with more than 40 measurement-specific applications, including jitter, triggering and measurement software, analysis tools and full-compliance certification test suites;
o Breakthrough Infiniium offline analysis software, which lets engineers analyze data using oscilloscope software on a PC or laptop instead of tying up the instrument for analysis;
o N2807A PrecisionProbe Advanced software that helps engineers characterize and correct for cables to the full 63 GHz; and
o Agilent’s flexible and innovative InfiniiMax III probing technology for bandwidths up to 30 GHz.
Customers who have previously purchased the 90000 Q-Series can upgrade their units to Z-Series performance by ordering the N2105A and N2109A upgrade kits.
