New 1GHz oscilloscope with unparalleled analysis and debugging capabilities

Brighton, UK, 29th July 2015 – Amplicon has introduced the new WaveSurfer 10, the latest digital oscilloscope to be added to the Teledyne LeCroy innovative WaveSurfer series. The WaveSurfer 10 has at its disposal a debug toolkit enabling complex analysis with minimal time and effort.

The WaveSurfer 10 has the performance of many higher-end oscilloscopes with a 1GHz bandwidth, 10GSa/s sampling rate and 10Mpts/ch memory depth. It also has a wide range of functions and options available to the user, making this new model an incredibly versatile oscilloscope able to be used in a variety of testing and analysis applications. The WaveSurfer 10 is excellent value with prices starting at £9,255, making it around 20% cheaper than many oscilloscopes with similar specifications.

Like other WaveSurfer models, the WaveSurfer 10 uses the MAUI touch screen user-interface to create a tool that is innovative and accessible. The WaveSurfer 10 also has the option of an advanced debug toolkit, adding a number of features to make the WaveSurfer 10 an unrivalled tool for debugging and analysis. Some of the functions and features that the toolkit adds include history mode waveform playback, allowing users to instantly scroll back to view any previously captured waveforms in order to locate events of interest or error sources, this ensures that no significant data is missed.

In addition there are 13 math operators and 2 math functions such as enveloped enhanced resolution, exp (base e), log (base 10) and reciprocal for complex analysis and faster troubleshooting. Distribution of measurements obtained from the oscilloscope can also be displayed through histicons, which have been auto scaled so outliners can not be missed and anomalies are easier to see in the data, as well as providing averages from readings for more reliable and accurate results from fluctuating readings. The toolkit also adds 10GSa/s on all four channels, 16Mpts/ch memory that increases to 32Mpts/ch when using two channels and sequence mode segmented memory.

The WaveSurfer 10 is also capable of simple frequency domain analysis thanks to a built in spectrum and power analyser with basic functions for low level testing and debugging. This can be of benefit as users can run preliminary tests for the frequency properties of their systems in order to gain a better understanding on how they will behave. The analyser has controls setup start/stop frequencies or centre frequency and span, all within a spectrum analyser style interface.

Rhys Murphy, Measurement & Control Product specialist at Amplicon: “The WaveSurfer 10 is perfect for customers looking for an oscilloscope with high-end testing and analysis capabilities as well as a functional and user-friendly interface without the price tag.”

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
