2008 Best in Test: OSCILLOSCOPE

The four-channel DSA70000 series digital serial analyzer holds the current bandwidth record of 20 GHz. Models in the series also feature 4-GHz, 6-GHz, 8-GHz, 12.5-GHz, and 16-GHz bandwidths. A user-selectable digital signal processor (DSP) filter lets you reduce the instrument’s bandwidth when you don’t need the full capacity, thus reducing measurement noise.

The DSA70000 series features 50-Gsamples/s signal capture on four channels simultaneously and a 200-Msample acquisition memory on all four channels. You can use the DSA70000 series to analyze PCI Express, Serial ATA, FB-DIMM, SAS, Fibre Channel, IEEE 1394b, RapidIO, XAUI, HDMI, DVI, Ethernet, and USB 2.0 serial data streams. You can also measure and analyze bit jitter with the instrument’s jitter-analysis software.

Signal integrity is key problem of Tek's scopes. Hope they improve this performance in this higher bandwidth series. Or it makes no sense to let us purchase such a high-end unit with poor performance.
