Bandwidth has an array of meanings, depending on the context. Often, but not always, the term is applicable to a situation where one frequency is superimposed on, mixed with, or modulates a different frequency. A simple and fundamental example is amplitude modulation and its close relatives, frequency and phase modulation. When speaking of a broadcast […]
VIDEO: Time Domain Display Items in the Tektronix MDO3000 Series Oscilloscope
Time domain items are in the oscilloscope display are listed with explanations. Hi once more and welcome to our 90th Test and Measurement Video. Today’s topic is the Tektronix MDO3000 Series Oscilloscope, and items that appear in its time domain display. To illustrate, we accessed a ramp waveform from the arbitrary function generator and fed […]
How to use oscilloscopes with integrated test instrumentation
Many manufacturers have in recent years have introduced oscilloscopes with integrated test instrumentation. This means that the smaller and lighter oscilloscope enclosure actually houses about five additional test instruments. An example is the Tektronix MDO3000 Series which includes a digital voltmeter, arbitrary function generator, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, and protocol analyzer. All this integrated test […]
Single-carrier 300 GHz wireless link transmits 100 Gb/sec via new IEEE 802.15.3d standard
A single-carrier wireless link operating at a 100 Gb/sec data rate used advanced data coding, terahertz photonics, and wideband and linear devices to enable ultra-fast wireless connections in the 252 – 325 GHz band per the recently published IEEE 802.15.3d standard. The demonstration was devised by instrument maker Tektronix Inc. and IEMN, a major French […]
The difference between arbitrary function generators and arbitrary waveform generators
Signal generators are subdivided into categories that include arbitrary function generators (AFGs) and arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs). The word arbitrary denotes a user’s ability to create waveforms beyond the permanent contents of the instrument’s internal memory. Besides AFGs and AWGs, there are RF and microwave signal generators, pitch generators, digital pattern generators, and more. Typically, […]
VIDEO: Frequency Menu in the MDO3000 Tektronix Oscilloscope
Bench-type spectrum analyzers are generally more costly than comparable oscilloscopes, but the Tektronix RSA306B makes use of the owner-supplied PC to reduce the cost substantially while maintaining a full range of features and specifications. Greetings once more and welcome to our 89th Test and Measurement Video. Today’s topic is the Frequency Menu in the Tektronix […]
Tektronix says thanks to engineers who bought over one million value scopes
Scope maker Tektronix Inc. says it has sold over one million of its TDS200 digital storage oscilloscope first released over two decades ago. To thank the engineers, technicians and students who have used these instruments, the company is now extending promotional offers that are detailed at www.tek.com/tek-one-million. “This milestone is not only ours, it’s yours […]
Instrument squeezes four 20-W source meters into 1U chassis
The Keithley Model 2606B System SourceMeter instrument packs four 20-W SMU channels into a single 1U form factor chassis. Targeting the fast-growing 3D sensing manufacturing industry, the Model 2606B combines the capabilities of a precision power supply, true current source, 6½-digit DMM, arbitrary waveform generator, and pulse generator into one tightly integrated instrument. The Model […]
Reducing ringing or reflections by controlling impedance lines
What is a controlled impedance line? For one thing, the term has to do with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) traces and layouts, which get more complex with higher frequency signals. Generally, you need not worry much about controlling impedance in traces unless you are working with signals at or above 50 MHz. However, most of […]
VIDEO: Basic Spectrum Measurements in the Tektronix RSA306B PC-Based Spectrum Analyzer
Bench-type spectrum analyzers are generally more costly than comparable oscilloscopes, but the Tektronix RSA306B makes use of the owner-supplied PC to reduce the cost substantially while maintaining a full range of features and specifications. Hi and welcome to our 88th Test and Measurement Video. For today’s demonstration, we’ll go back to the Tektronix RSA306B Real-Time […]
