Real-Time Oscilloscopes with 63 GHz True Analog Bandwidth

Agilent-Infiniium_90000_Q19 April 2012 – Agilent Technologies introduced Infiniium 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes with a real-time bandwidth of 63 GHz on two channels and 33 GHz on four channels. The new lineup includes 10 four-channel models ranging from 20 GHz to 63 GHz, all of which are bandwidth upgradeable. These new scopes deliver the lowest noise and have the lowest jitter measurement floor in the oscilloscope industry, ensuring superior measurement accuracy.

“The 90000 Q-Series represents another breakthrough for Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes,” said Jay Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Oscilloscope Products Division. “In the last five years, we have introduced oscilloscopes with the deepest memory, the lowest noise floor and the highest bandwidth. The 90000 Q-Series is the culmination of all these innovations, and it features all three industry-leading characteristics to help engineers design and validate devices that use emerging technologies.”

At its maximum bandwidth the Q-Series breaks the 60-GHz barrier, with a -3 dB point of 63 GHz. The 33-GHz model allows engineers to simultaneously trigger on and capture signals on all four channels with no compromise. These two specifications allow the oscilloscopes to make measurements on devices designed to conform to emerging standards. Key capabilities include:

  • Direct digitization of M-band signals (60 GHz to 100 GHz).
  • Capture of the third harmonic on 28-, 32- and 40-Gbps digital signals.
  • Analysis of IEEE 802.3ba 40/100/400-GbE and Optical Internetworking Forum CEI 3.0 signals.
  • Measurement of up to four differential channels in a single acquisition for unraveling difficult cross-talk problems.
  • Direct measurement of voltage swings larger than 1V when high-bandwidth and general-purpose measurements need to be made with the same instrument.

The 90000 Q-Series improves upon Agilent’s use of custom integrated circuits and multichip module packaging with an exclusive new technology called RealEdge. RealEdge comprises a combination of new architectures, next-generation microcircuits and thin-film components, and advanced application of Agilent’s indium phosphide semiconductor process. This new technology enables high-frequency capability while maintaining the industry’s lowest noise and jitter measurement floor (75 fs).

Agilent Infiniium 90000 Q-Series products can be ordered today, limited shipments will begin in July. Prices start at  $191,000.
