One of the undesirable characteristics of an oscilloscope is vertical noise found in its analog front-end as well as in its digitizing process. The measurement system noise degrades the actual signal measurement accuracy particularly when measuring low-level noise and signals. In most cases, the vertical noise of an oscilloscope, which is a broadband measurement instrument, […]

Verifying oscilloscope jitter
As one of the most important oscilloscope specification, jitter is a digital signal’s unwanted phase modulation, and is the combination of the oscilloscope’s noise floor and sample clock jitter. However, oscilloscope vendors specify jitter measurement floor in various ways. To verify how an oscilloscope’s jitter is specified, users can use these simple steps. The first […]
