How to resolve AdBlock issue? The following list shows which oscilloscope manufacturer supplies which kind of instruments. The frequency in the header specifies the maximum bandwidth. In this list we considered only manufacturers offering scopes with a bandwidth of more than 100 MHz. In case of USB, PXI/PXIe, and LXI we regarded only instruments which are explicitly specified as oscilloscope. There are many other instruments available which are specified as digitizer oder data acquisition modules and might be suitable for some applications.

There are also AXIe, PCI, PCIe, VXI, and VME based oscilloscopes available. We did not include this type of instruments in our survey because we think these play at the moment a minor role on the market.

Whether it is for a land survey searching for minerals on Earth, or for a space exploration in search of alien life forms, the analysis of any signal boils down to looking at its time and frequency information. While an oscilloscope displays a signal with respect to time, a spectrum analyzer shows it with respect to frequency. Both of these tools are very important in any signal analysis application. This article explains the difference between oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer using examples.
Today’s technology is fundamentally balanced on an increasingly fine line between the analogue and digital domains; as data speeds increase — both within and between devices — the ‘ideal world’ of fast, clean digital transitions becomes evermore difficult to achieve. This presents new and escalating challenges when verifying faster digital signals that exhibit more and more analogue-like features. As a result it is becoming necessary to remove the hard line between digital and analogue.
