Hybrid Memory Cube Compliance Test
08 March 2016 - Keysight Technologies introduced the industry’s first compliance test software application for hybrid memory cube (HMC) device and system testing. The Keysight N8839A HMC test application helps memory design engineers accelerate turn-on and debug of HMC systems by automating the execution of transmitter physical-layer tests on Keysight Infiniium V-Series and Z-Series oscilloscopes.
Rigol introduces new MSO1000Z Oscilloscope Series
04 March 2016 -The MSO1000Z Series is the new economic level Digital Oscilloscope from Rigol and features powerful trigger functions and broad analysis capabilities. The MSO1000Z 4 channel oscilloscopes come in 70 or 100 MHz versions with a 7 inch display and Rigol's UltraVision technology and a 16 bit digital input port for mixed signal applications. A host of options are available such as analysis, decoding, deep memory, and integrated 2 channel waveform generator.
Hantek presents 1GSa/s PC Based Oscilloscope
03 March 2016 - Qingdao Hantek launched the HANTEK6000BX PC based oscilloscope series. The series features 4 independent analog channels, 1GSa/s real-time sampling rate, 2mV-10V/DIV input sensitivity, and 250MHz bandwidth. The plug and play device is powered by a USB2.0 Interface and offers pass/fail tests, advanced trigger functions, dynamic cursor tracking, waveform record and replay functions.
Keysight announces new Chipsets for Oscilloscopes with Bandwidths above 100 GHz
02 March 2016 – Keysight Technologies announced a technological breakthrough for building the world’s highest-bandwidth oscilloscopes with the successful turn-on of chipsets based on Keysight’s Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor technology. The new chipsets will enable Keysight to deliver real-time and equivalent-time oscilloscopes in 2017 that offer bandwidths greater than 100 GHz with significantly better noise floors than what is currently on the market.
Compliance Verification of embedded Multimedia Card Interfaces
01 March 2016 - Embedded multimedia cards (eMMC) are inexpensive internal storage media that are mainly used in mobile electronic devices in the consumer and industrial sectors. With new compliance test software for the R&S RTO oscilloscope family, Rohde & Schwarz now covers automated conformity tests for eMMC interfaces. R&S ScopeSuite, the central application for the control of all compliance tests, also offers new capabilities for integration and regression testing.
Rigol adds Automotive Bus Decoding Options to mid range Scope Series
26 February 2016 - Rigol offers options for CAN, LIN and FlexRay Bus Decoding for its mid range oscilloscope series DS/MSO4000. CAN Bus and LIN Bus are the most implemented bus systems at motor vehicles. While the CAN Bus is used for secure, important functions, the LIN Bus is used at low risk, low security functions as for example integrations within the door or the seat region.
Rohde & Schwarz launches new Oscilloscope with up to 4 GHz Bandwidth
24 February 2016 - Rohde & Schwarz presents the R&S RTO2000, a compact lab oscilloscope for multi-domain applications. The R&S RTO2000 displays the correlations between time, frequency, protocol and logic analysis measurement results. Via the analog input channels, the user simultaneously sees the signal in the time and frequency domain, and if desired, the spectrogram. Newly added functions such as peak list, max. hold detectors and the logarithmic display make frequency analysis even more efficient.

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.
