Oscilloscope Input Impedance Matching Issues – Experience Sharing

Oscilloscope Input Impedance Matching Issues - Experience Sharing

When testing a signal with an output impedance of 50Ω using a Pico oscilloscope, a 50Ω to 1MΩ direct terminal is required. Recently, during an on-site test with a client, I found that the waveform oscillated severely, as shown in Figure 1 (red box), making it impossible to conduct accurate data analysis. Figure 1 Severe … Read more

Oscilloscope Practical Series Episode 9: X-Y Mode

Introduction: In previous videos, we introduced the ROLL mode in the horizontal time base. Now, let’s take a look at the X-Y mode in the horizontal time base. What exactly is it? Figure 1 Oscilloscope Screen Display in X-Y Mode In simple terms, the X-Y mode converts voltage-time display into voltage-voltage display. In fact, in … Read more

Basic Jitter Measurement Using an Oscilloscope

Basic Jitter Measurement Using an Oscilloscope

Jitter is the short-term variation of a digital signal’s timing relative to its nominal value. There are two main types of jitter: random jitter and deterministic jitter. Random jitter is unbounded, meaning its value continues to increase as the measurement duration increases, and it is related to random processes such as noise. Deterministic jitter, on … Read more
