The real purpose of Aleksa’s talk was to dive into the nitty gritty of oscilloscope front-end designs. While his scope has had four major revisions, the front end has had over a dozen updates.

This Design Idea for a sound card scope front end is a little different. Referring to the schematic (Figure 1), it combines megohm input impedance with switched X1-X10-X100 attenuation, but then adds ...

The estimated shipping date for successful Kickstarters can often prove to be a bit ambitious, but backers of the Oscilloscope Watch project are finally being rewarded for their patience ...

“This is an important addition to Keysight’s portfolio of optical measurement solutions based on real-time and sampling oscilloscope platforms and it will enable key capabilities for test ...

EDN discusses how to measure phase differences, shifts, and angles with an oscilloscope, measurement techniques, and the Lissajous curve.

Why is this? Crucial to the operation of an oscilloscope is a very high input impedance, to minimise current draw on the circuit it is investigating.

The bandwidth of an oscilloscope is typically defined as the maximum frequency the oscilloscope can measure without significant distortion caused by the front-end amplifiers.

Like contemporary discrete scope front-ends, BUF802 is intended to be used with dc-blocking series capacitor between it and scope’s front-end connector, with a dc-accurate low-frequency amplifier in ...

This sixth and final article in the Oscilloscope Triggering Advanced Course discusses trigger performance characteristics, including hysteresis and frequency response.

“Keysight’s new N7005A delivers a high-bandwidth optical input solution for the Infiniium UXR oscilloscope with ultra-low noise for high signal integrity optical measurements,” said Brad ...
