Tektronix expands ATI High Performance Oscilloscope Family with 50 GHz Model
30 September 2015 - Tektronix announced the expansion of its DPO70000SX Performance Oscilloscope Series to include 50 GHz and 23 GHz models. By extending the flagship 70 GHz model, the new 50 GHz product is ideal for engineers and researchers who want to take advantage of the superior low-noise performance of the patented asynchronous time interleaving (ATI) architecture for technologies such as 28 GBaud PAM4 and Kband frequency testing.
Ultra-Wide Bandwidth 5G Backhaul Signal Analysis
29 September 2015 – Tektronix implemented the SignalVu software on its family of DPO70000SX ATI Performance Oscilloscopes. This will allow researchers and others engaged in developing next generation wide- and ultra-wide bandwidth technologies such as 5G, cellular backhaul and radar to perform RF modulation measurements with unprecedented margins of error.
Optical Modulation Analysis using a Combination of Coherent Optical Receiver and Oscilloscope
28 September 2015 — Teledyne LeCroy introduced the IQS series of Coherent Optical Receivers, featuring the industry’s highest bandwidth. When combined with Teledyne LeCroy’s LabMaster 10Zi-A oscilloscopes and integrated Optical-LinQ analysis software, the IQS receivers test DP-QPSK and DP-16QAM optical signals at speeds up to 130 GBaud.
Physical Layer Testing for APIX2 In-Car Video Applications
03 September 2015 – Keysight Technologies announced a new compliance application for characterizing and testing of APIX2 (Automotive Pixel Link) high-speed SerDes (serialiser/deserialiser) technology using the Keysight Infiniium Series oscilloscopes. Developed by Inova Semiconductors, APIX2 is a multi-channel technology for high-resolution in-car video applications. APIX2 can establish multiple display links with a bandwidth of up to 3Gbps, over two pairs of copper cables or a single QSTP cable, and supports HD video at 24 bit color depth.
SIGLENT releases new X-Series Oscilloscopes
31 August 2015 – SIGLENT Technologies launched the X-Series products including the SDS1000X Series Super Phosphor Oscilloscopes, the SDG2000X Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators and High-Precision SPD3303X Programmable Linear DC Power Supply. All X-Series products support LAN interfacing for use in remote-controlled measurement systems. X-Series products adopt SIGLENT’s newly developed architecture platform which makes for a more versatile and powerful operating experience.

Digitizer and Oscilloscope - Equal Alternatives?
Can a digitizer be used as an oscilloscope? What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a digitizer? Should I better use a digitizer or an oscilloscope in my next application? These are interesting questions and the best way to start to answer these is the look up the dictionary definition of an oscilloscope: "An electronic instrument used to measure changing electric voltages. It displays the waveforms of electric oscillations on a screen."
