Categories Related to Sampling Oscilloscopes
An oscilloscope is a type of electrical measuring instrument that displays changes in electrical signals (voltages) over time as waveforms.
Sampling oscilloscopes, also known as Equivalent Time Sampling Oscilloscopes, are specialized for measuring high-speed signals. They differ from traditional oscilloscopes as they lack attenuators and amplification circuits in the previous stage, enabling more accurate high-speed signal analysis.
The primary use of oscilloscopes is to monitor changes in electrical signals. In addition to voltage, they can measure various phenomena such as temperature, humidity, speed, and pressure. Sampling oscilloscopes are particularly adept at measuring high-speed electrical and optical signals, and are invaluable in TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) for evaluating digital signal quality on printed circuit boards and cables, as well as in LSI performance and defect analysis.
Sampling oscilloscopes capture and convert voltages into digital data using A/D converters, storing this data in memory and displaying it on the screen as waveforms. The input portion consists of a vertical circuit and a trigger system, converting the signal in the preceding stage. These oscilloscopes use equivalent-time sampling, capturing part of the waveform in a single cycle and reconstructing the full waveform over multiple cycles. This method achieves high time resolution, surpassing the actual sampling period, enabling the measurement of high-speed signals.
Sampling Oscilloscopes support various standards suitable for capturing high-speed signals, such as:
Key interfaces for sampling oscilloscopes include:
Sampling oscilloscopes are commonly used in optical module evaluation, including:
