N1090A and N1092/4 Sampling Oscilloscopes: High-Accuracy, Low-Cost Solutions for Optical Waveform Analysis
If you are an engineer engaged in optical communication or high-speed digital circuit design, you must know that optoelectronic waveform analysis is an important means of verifying the performance of optical transmitters and circuits. Optical waveform analysis can help you measure key parameters such as eye diagram, jitter, extinction ratio, cross-talk, signal-to-noise ratio, etc., to ensure that your products meet industry standards and customer requirements.
However, traditional optoelectronic waveform analysis instruments are often expensive, bulky, and complex to operate, making them unsuitable for use in manufacturing and R&D environments. And, as data rates and baud rates continue to increase, traditional instruments may not be able to meet new test requirements, such as the analysis of PAM-4 signals.
To address these issues, the YesTech N1090A and N1092/4 Sampling Oscilloscope Series, a highly accurate, low-cost solution for optoelectronic waveform analysis, supports data rates and baud rates from 1 Gb/s to 53 GBaud.
