High-Performance 6-in-1 Integrated Test Solution Allows View of Signals in One Display
Tektronix recently announced an improved model of their mixed domain oscilloscope (MDO), model MDO4000C. The unique feature of the MDO is the optional built-in 3 (or 6) GHz spectrum analyzer with the ability to time-sync to the measured voltage waveform. This “gated” spectral analysis feature is quite useful in tracking down intermittent EMI/EMC problems in systems. There are … [Read more...]
