Tektronix 'Scopes Reach 70GHz

March 21, 2013 |
BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Tektronix, Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of oscilloscopes, today announced that lab testing has shown that its next generation performance oscilloscopes – due for availability in 2014 – will deliver real-time bandwidth of 70 GHz, with significant upside potential. The new oscilloscope platform will deliver the performance and signal fidelity needed for applications such as 400 Gbps and 1 Tbps optical communications and fourth generation serial data communications. Tektronix also announced an investment program that will give customers a cost-effective migration path to the new platform.

The extraordinary gain in bandwidth performance, with improved signal fidelity, is due in part to the development by Tektronix engineers of a patent pending signal processing architecture called Asynchronous Time Interleaving. The new real-time oscilloscope platform will also include a number of other enhancements and refinements to improve overall performance and measurement precision.

“With these latest innovations, Tektronix is continuing to push the envelope on what can be achieved in high-fidelity, high-speed data acquisition systems,” said Kevin Ilcisin, chief technology officer, Tektronix. “The development of the industry’s first production-ready Asynchronous Time Interleaving architecture is a significant breakthrough that will improve signal-to-noise ratio beyond the frequency interleaving approach used by competing oscilloscope vendors.”
