04 February 2019 – Teledyne LeCroy announced support for PCI Express 5.0 physical layer testing with an advantage in calibration and test completion time, expanding on what is already an extensive set of PCI Express test solutions.
Siglent launched its first 1GHz Oscilloscopes
29 January 2019 - Siglent launched the new economical, high performance SDS5000X series of digital storage oscilloscopes, which are available in 2 or 4 channel versions with bandwidths of 350MHz, 500MHz, and 1GHz. With a maximum sample rate of 5GSa/s, these scopes offer a maximum record length of 250Mpts to allow for deep memory investigation of glitches and infrequent events, and they also have the option of 16 digital channels for true mixed signal analysis.
Analyzing Frequency Response with Oscilloscopes
21 January 2019 - Rohde & Schwarz has extended the application range of its R&S RTB2000, R&S RTM3000, and R&S RTA4000 oscilloscopes with a new option for frequency response analysis. Equipped with the R&S RTx-K36, the oscilloscopes can display Bode plots for both phase and gain against frequency simultaneously. With the new software option, users can analyze the response to frequency changes from 10 Hz up to 25 MHz without any additional piece of equipment and at a fraction of the price of dedicated solutions.

Oscilloscope Probes – Vital Link in the Measurement Chain
Signal measurement results can only be as accurate as the test and measurement tools in use. As clock rates and edge speeds of today’s electronic circuits increase, probing becomes a critical piece of the measurement system – the component that comes in direct contact with your circuit. This article looks at voltage probing considerations for embedded system and digital design debugging applications.

Precision Phase Noise Measurement with an Oscilloscope - Part 1
Often clock jitter induced from the power supply noise, signal routings, or other signals severely degrade the performance of the system. Clock generation and distribution in a FPGA for a high speed analog application is particularly prone to these issues. They manifest themselves in phase noise or clock jitter, which is the random variation of the period of a signal over time. Clearly, optimization of the design requires verification of the integrity of such clocks.
