Utilizing DSP to Optimize Real-time Oscilloscope/Probe System Performance

Real-time oscilloscopes have employed DSP filters for several years. Now the combination of DSP and advances in hardware and ASIC design have enabled significant advances in probe signal fidelity. This application note will extend the discussion of DSP techniques to cover the lastest generation of Tektronix active probes, demonstrating the system level performance improvements and benefits of user-selectable probe DSP filters.
