Product Overview

TEKTRONIX DSA8200

For developing today’s high-speed serial devices, the Tektronix DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer sampling oscilloscope is one of the most versatile tools for communication, computer and consumer electronics gigabit transmitter and signal path characterization, and compliance verification. With exceptional bandwidth, signal fidelity, and the most extensible modular architecture, the Tek DSA8200 provides the highest performance TDR and interconnect analysis, most accurate analysis of signal impairments, and BER calculations for current and emerging serial data technology.

The Tektronix DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer provides unmatched measurement system fidelity with ultra-low jitter foor that ensures the most accurate acquisition of high-speed signals. You get advanced analysis benefits from the 200 fs acquisition jitter with the Phase Reference module. And in another step forward for a sampling oscilloscope, with the help of the Phase Reference module the DSA8200 can acquire and measure SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) signals.
