Sampling Scope Supports Bandwidths To 100 GHz

July 11, 2007

LeCroy Corp. has introduced the WaveExpert(R) 100H sampling oscilloscope featuring four measurement channels with as much as 100 GHz bandwidth. The scope, which is supplied with time-domain-reflectometry (TDR) software, can be used for measurement of electrical and optical channels and can perform reference-plane calibration and full differential two-port scattering (S) parameter measurements. The instrument achieves a 230-fs jitter noise floor for performing extremely accurate jitter analysis. The mainframe oscilloscope can be equipped with a variety of modules and options for achieving different levels of stability and display capability.
