Tektronix, Inc. has released the DPO70000SX 70 GHz ATI Performance Oscilloscope featuring the lowest-noise and highest effective bits of any ultra-high bandwidth real-time oscilloscope available on the market. The new oscilloscope incorporates a range of innovations that enable it to more effectively meet the current and future needs of engineers and scientists developing high-speed coherent optical systems or performing leading-edge research.
Key innovations in the DPO70000SX ATI Performance Oscilloscope that set it apart from traditional ultra-high bandwidth oscilloscopes include:
- World’s first 70 GHz real-time oscilloscope with Tektronix’ patented Asynchronous Time Interleaving (ATI) technology that preserves signal-to-noise ratio for higher fidelity. This means that users can more accurately capture and measure their signals at higher speeds than possible with any other oscilloscope available today.
- 200 GS/sec sample rate with 5 psec/sample resolution for improved resolution and timing.
- Compact form factor that enables the instrument to be positioned extremely close to the device under test (DUT) while providing flexible display and control for analysis. Reducing the distance to the DUT enables shorter cable lengths which in turn help to preserve signal fidelity at very high frequencies.
- The most scalable oscilloscope system on the market featuring Tektronix’ patent pending UltraSync architecture that provides precise data synchronization and convenient operation of multi-unit systems. Precise multi-channel timing synchronization is key to meeting acquisition requirements in applications such as 100G and faster coherent optical modulation analysis.
“For advanced applications like coherent optical, wideband radar and high-energy physics, customers need more from their oscilloscope than just raw bandwidth,” said Brian Reich, general manager Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. “Looking at the full range of customer needs drove us to look beyond banner specs to drive important innovations in the DPO70000SX 70 GHz ATI Performance Oscilloscope around signal fidelity, flexibility and scalability. We see many of these innovations as having long-term influence on oscilloscope architectures.”
As engineers develop products and systems with higher data rates, they face a continued number of test challenges. In particular, as speeds go up and amplitudes go down, system noise becomes a major problem because it obscures important signal details. Through the use of ATI technology, DPO70000SX oscilloscope enables engineers to see more of their signal details with less noise and distortion so they can make better measurements and understand their system operation better.
DPO70000SX oscilloscopes are available to order worldwide with export restrictions for certain countries.
70 GHz ATI units start at $315,000 US MSRP with a two-unit system starting at $479,000 US MSRP. In addition, a 33 GHz non-ATI unit is available starting at $285,000 US MSRP with a two-unit system starting at $371,000 US MSRP.
