32 GHz scopes with low noise floor and jitter

Agilent Technologies has introduced ten new models as part of the new oscilloscope family called Infiniium 90000 X-Series with some of the models offering real-time bandwidth of 32 GHz. These new scopes offer low noise floor of 2 mV at 50 mV/div, 32 GHz and low jitter measurement floor of 150 femtoseconds.

"Agilent is excited to have achieved clear performance leadership in our new oscilloscope lineup," said Jay Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent's oscilloscopes business. "Our customers have demanding roadmaps, so it is important for us to deliver the high-bandwidth test capabilities they need."

The accompanying probing system offers browsing to 30 GHz with a full range
of accessories rated to 28 GHz. The 90000 X-Series scopes offer more than 40 measurement-specific application packages including jitter, triggering, measurement, and analysis tools and full compliance certification test suites.

Agilent says these scopes are required for engineers working with high-energy physics, emerging wireline communication standards, and high-speed serial data links, such as USB, SAS, or PCI Express to capture fast, single-shot events and to make critical measurements like jitter while ensuring compliance to industry standards for interoperability. With data rates in the next few years extending beyond 10 Gbps, engineers need oscilloscopes that can deliver higher-bandwidth measurements.

"The banner specifications impressed me, and we've already seen it functioning," said Charles Moore, chief SerDes architect and Avago Technologies Fellow. "Based on Agilent's history of delivering clean instruments, I expect the Infiniium 90000 X-Series to improve our ability to characterize our ever-faster SerDes."

These scopes are made to support high frequency measurement due to the use of indium phosphide (InP) integrated circuit process while making them. Custom aluminum nitride
packaging technology combines five InP chips in the front-end multichip module which incorporates unique noise shielding and heat dissipation techniques.


Agilent claims its Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes measure random jitter at approximately 50 percent of the level reported by competitive products. This increased measurement accuracy returns critical design margin to engineers.

Another specialty is it has Industry's deepest memory (2 Gpts).
