Basic analog level triggering was developed by Tektronix founders Howard Vollum and Jack Murdock and helped sell the company’s first scope, the Model 511, in 1947. Adding an analog delay line to delay ...

Compared with other scopes, LeCroy’s WaveExpert 100H 100-GHz-maximum-bandwidth near-real-time-sampling oscilloscope provides significantly greater de-embedding power, which it demonstrates through an ...

Closely related to a scope’s real-time bandwidth is its maximum specified sample rate. “Real-time” simply means that the scope can capture and display signals commensurate with the scope’s specified ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Author’s note: Early in my engineering career, I accepted a research project to characterize light transmission ...

PC-based oscilloscope maker Pico Technology has introduced a repetitive sampling facility on its 100MHz digital storage scope which boosts sample rate to 5Gsample/s. The firm’s ADC-212, a 100MHz ...
