The 11801C Digital Sampling Oscilloscope
The 11801C Digital Sampling Oscilloscope offers the widest range of on-board measurement and waveform processing capabilities of any multi-Gigahertz scope. With excellent measurement repeatability, exceptional vertical resolution, and fast display update rate, the 11801C is a powerful measurement tool for semiconductor testing, TDR characterization of circuit boards, IC packages and cables, and high-speed digital data communications.
Modularity Meets Your Needs Now and in the Future
The modular microprocessor-based architecture of the 11801C not only allows you to select the right configuration for your application, but also allows expandability to meet your future measurement needs. The 11801C accepts up to 4 dual-channel sampling heads and can be expanded through the SM-11 Multichannel Units to 136 channels. There are currently nine sampling heads to choose from:
SD-14 - 3-GHz high-impedance (100 kilohm/0.475 pF) dual-channel probe sampler
SD-20 - 20-GHz single-channel loop-through head
SD-22 - 12.5-GHz dual-channel low-noise head
SD-24 - 20-GHz dual-channel TDR/sampling head
SD-26 - 20-GHz dual-channel sampling head
SD-32 - 50-GHz, single-channel sampling head
SD-42 - 6.4-GHz O/E converter (55-ps optical pulse response FWHM)
SD-44 - 15-GHz O/E converter
SD-51 - 20-GHz trigger head
Characteristics
Vertical Systems
Rise Time/Bandwidth - Determined by the sampling head used*1
Vertical Resolution - 8-bit full screen (78 µV LSB at 2 mV/div deflection factor)
Amplifier Gain Accuracy - ±1% of all settings
Deflection Factors - 2 to 255 mV/div in 1 mV/div increments

Horizontal System
Main and Window Time Base - 1 ps/div to 5 ms/div, settable in 1-2-5 sequence or in 1-ps increments.
Time Interval Accuracy -
8 ps + 0.01% × (interval) + 0.001% × (position), guaranteed.
4 ps + 0.004% × (interval) + 0.0004% × (position), typical, where interval ≥1 ns.
2.5 ps + 0.0004% × (position), typical, where interval = 100 ps.
1 ps + 0.0004% × (position), typical, where intervals <10 ps.
Notes:
1) For intervals <100 ps, the above holds for time/div ≤20 ps/div.
2) For other intervals not listed above, linearity interpolate the cardinal points.
