If we want to take samples of some analog waveform, as in doing analog to digital conversions at some particular conversion rate, there is an absolute lower limit to the rate of doing conversions ...

Making an oscilloscope is relatively easy, while making a very fast oscilloscope is hard. There’s a trick that converts a mundane instrument into a very fast one, it’s been around since the 1950s, and ...

Analog measurement resources in today’s mixed-signal ATE use ADCs, and the test methodologies are based on DSP. Two types of measurement resources are distinguished by the relationship of the test ...

Digital instruments sample analog waveforms and operate on the samples with the assurance that the data can be restored to continuous analog form. The sampling theorem states that a signal digitized ...

Sampling oscilloscopes do not capture a whole waveform in one shot. Instead they are simpler, and work with repetitive waveforms only, using a fast sampling gate at a relatively slow sampling rate to ...

Capable of simulating many types of waveforms, the model 9302 arbitrary waveform generator (ARB) can store an arbitrary waveform of up to 16,000 points in memory. The instrument provides bandwidth ...
