Scope analyses next-generation serial
streams

Digital serial analyser sampling oscilloscope, remote sampling electrical modules and enhanced IConnect software are ideal for serial data network analysis applications.

New from Tektronix, the DSA8200 digital serial analyser sampling oscilloscope, remote sampling electrical modules and enhanced IConnect software are ideal for serial data network analysis applications The new TDR (time-domain-reflectometry) and electrical modules represent the most significant performance advancement in TDR test technology in 20 years, in direct response to the demanding needs and compliance requirements of high-speed serial data standards

The emergence of multigigabit serial standards is driving down power budgets and timing margins.

As a result, accurate analysis of signal path and interconnects in both time and frequency domains is critical to fully understand the effects of loss and crosstalk in today's high speed serial designs.

Industry standards such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, XAUI, and Infiniband increasingly call for the use of S-parameters and impedance measurements to characterise the effects and ensure system interoperability.
