86108A Datasheet | Agilent(Hewlett-Packard)

Agilent 86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer Accuracy and ease-of-use for high-speed digital munications signals - High bandwidth, low noise, ultra-low residual jitter - Simple one connection ‘triggerless’ operation - PLL characterization including loop BW/jitter transfer - Integrated HW clock recovery with adjustable loop BW/Peaking-exceeds industry standards for SSC tracking - Easy setup for serial bus differential signaling (PCI-Express, SATA etc.) Engineers are often frustrated by test equipment limitations preventing them from seeing the true performance of their designs. This can be the case with oscilloscopes used to analyze signals from high-speed electrical munications systems. As data rates increase, these problems can get even worse. The Agilent 86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer is a plug-in module used with the 86100C Infiniium DCA-J Digital munications Analyzer that provides an ideal solution to this accuracy problem. The 86108A has a bandwidth in excess of 33 GHz, channel noise of less than 300 u V, and residual jitter at an astounding level of under 100 femtoseconds (60 fs typical)! This provides a "gold standard" for waveform accuracy and translates into confidence that the waveform displayed by the oscilloscope is a faithful representation of the true device performance for today’s technology as well as future generations.
