Low frequency response curves with AC coupling or DC reject turned on, for different types of probes

Probe Points: Understanding Low Frequency Response Friday, June 28, 2024 par : Blair Battye

The Practice of AC Coupling and DC Reject Modes The practice of AC coupling the scope input or using a probe with DC reject capability is very common when looking at noise and/or ripple of DC power rails. Anytime there is insufficient DC offset available, then users often elect to use AC Coupling or DC Reject settings. With the focus on clean power, we see users more interested than ever before in …

3 Things to Consider When Synchronizing Oscilloscopes for Higher Channel Count Tuesday, January 16, 2024 par : Tektronix Expert

When constructing a test system, there might be a need to measure more signals than a single oscilloscope can capture with its available channels. To increase the number of oscilloscope channels in a test system, a common approach is to combine multiple oscilloscopes. Multi-channel measurements find application in various scenarios, such as capturing complex particle physics experiments, measuring …

MIMO Radar System Testing Tools and Techniques Thursday, January 11, 2024 par : Dylan Stinson

Modern technologies such as MIMO require the need for wide bandwidth, phase coherent, multi-channel analysis. Antenna elements in a MIMO radar system operate independently to cover a wide, often 180-degree, field of view without the need for directivity adjustments. This significantly improves scan times. The MIMO radar employs time, frequency, or coding techniques in each transmit signal to …

Where Are We Going after PCIe 6? Tuesday, October 10, 2023 par : David Bouse

The physical layer of PCIe Express® has rapidly evolved from Gen 4.0 to Gen 5.0 and finally to Gen 6.0 with a 6.0 spec that describes everything that's necessary to develop silicon. We’ve gone from 16 to 32 and for Gen 6.0 up to 64 GT/s (Giga-transfers per second). And for the first time, we've gone to PAM4 multi-level signaling that allows us to encode two bits of information into a single unit …
