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

Understanding Eye Diagram Testing

An eye diagram, as the name suggests, is a graphical representation that resembles an eye. How is it formed? This brings us to the persistence mode of an oscilloscope. The refresh rate of our naked eyes is only 60Hz, which sometimes makes it difficult to detect occasional abnormal signals. The persistence mode can superimpose and … Read more

Using Oscilloscopes for RF Signal Testing

Using Oscilloscopes for RF Signal Testing

Abstract: With the increasing demands for signal transmission rates or resolution in fields such as wireless communication, radar, satellite communication, and optical communication, the modulation formats used have become increasingly complex, and the signal bandwidth has also widened. Modern real-time oscilloscopes, due to advancements in chip and material technology, can provide real-time measurement bandwidths of … Read more
