Are 1.0 mm Precision RF Connectors Required for 224 Gbps PAM4 Verification?

DesignCon 2024 Best Paper Award Winner

This paper, awarded the Best Paper Award at DesignCon 2024, explores what is meant by bandwidth during the standardization process, the implications of test and verification attached to certain bandwidth requirements, as well as differences between acquisition range, band limited filters, and s-parameters for time domain processing.

Quick, Simple Way to Measure the System Bandwidth of a Scope-Probe System

While we get the scope’s bandwidth from the vendor, as soon as we add a cable, probe, or amplifier to the scope, we decrease the system bandwidth. The new system bandwidth is as important to know as the scope’s bandwidth, but it is generally difficult to measure except in a calibration lab. We offer a simple method of evaluating the transfer function and system bandwidth of any probing system using a wide band noise source. This method not only gives us information about the probes and interconnects, but it also tells us how the scope responds to the measurement system, information which cannot be measured by a VNA alone.

Pico Technology Increases the Bandwidth of its PicoScope 9300 Family of Sampling Oscilloscopes

Pico Technology has increased the bandwidth of its PicoScope 9300 family of Sampling Oscilloscopes with two new 25 GHz models.  The USB-controlled Sampling Oscilloscope, available only from Pico, stands as one of very few low-cost, high-integrity options for viewing and measuring RF and microwave signals, paths and networks. Sampling Oscilloscopes are the cost-effective solution to today’s proliferation of gigabit-per-second datastreams and their copper, wireless and optical fiber interconnect.
