Agilent unveils World’s fastest real-time Oscilloscopes

Telecom Lead India: Agilent Technologies has
introduced Infiniium 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes with real-time
bandwidth of 63 GHz on two channels and 33 GHz on four channels.

 

The new Infiniium 90000 Q-Series includes 10 four-channel
models ranging from 20 GHz to 63 GHz, all of which are bandwidth upgradeable.
These new scopes deliver the lowest noise and have the lowest jitter
measurement floor in the oscilloscope industry, ensuring superior measurement
accuracy.

 

The 90000 Q-Series represents another
breakthrough for Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes. In the last five years, we
have introduced oscilloscopes with the deepest memory, the lowest noise floor
and the highest bandwidth. The 90000 Q-Series is the culmination of all these
innovations, and it features all three industry-leading characteristics to help
engineers design and validate devices that use emerging technologies” said Jay
Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Oscilloscope
Products Division.

 

At its maximum bandwidth the Q-Series breaks the
60-GHz barrier, with a -3 dB point of 63 GHz. The 33-GHz model allows engineers
to simultaneously trigger on and capture signals on all four channels with no
compromise. These two specifications allow the oscilloscopes to make
measurements on devices designed to conform to emerging standards. Key
capabilities include:

 

Based on early prototypes from Agilent that we
were able to use for initial testing, our team progressed toward taking the
next steps in high-data-rate coherent detection research,” said Dr. Peter
Winzer of Bell Labs. 

 

 The 90000 Q-Series improves upon Agilent’s
use of custom integrated circuits and multichip module packaging with an
exclusive new technology called RealEdge.

 

Furthermore, the series allows engineers to take
advantage of many years of industry-leading hardware and software advancements
in Agilent’s Infiniium oscilloscopes.

 

Recently, Agilent Technologies launched a dual-channel PXI vector signal analyzer, which is
available in a single-channel configuration for $66,235 and a dual-channel
configuration for $132,470.
