WaveExpert Series Oscilloscope

WaveExpert Series

In recent years, the rates of serial data signals have increased steadily from 2.5 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s and beyond. All this speed, of course, pushes up the bandwidth requirements of oscilloscopes. However simply providing this bandwidth is not sufficient for qualifying these high-speed links. High bandwidth oscilloscopes must have the detailed analysis capability required by next-generation standards. Adding to the measurement complexity is the emergence of receiver equalization which allows high-speed serial data links to operate error-free even when the signal is severely distorted. The WaveExpert 100H is the ideal signal integrity analysis solution for these applications.



Ultra-High Bandwidth Signal Analysis

Eye pattern analysis is the primary method of signal integrity testing for optical signals and the WaveExpert performs this analysis over 20 times faster than conventional sampling oscilloscopes.

A maximum bandwidth of 100 GHz along with a 230 fsrms noise floor enables measurements on the fastest optical signals.

Highly Accurate Jitter Analysis

The low jitter noise floor of the HCIS timebase along with LeCroy’s innovative Q-Scale jitter analysis provides over 3 times the accuracy over conventional sampling scope methods for all jitter types.

Up to 20 GHz TDR with Full S-paramter Measurements

The standard TDR analysis package included with the WaveExpert 100H offers full reference plane calibration and 1 and 2 port differential S-parameter measurement fully integrated into the instrument interface.
