Electrical Sampling Modules

80E01 Sampling Module

The 80E01 is a single-channel, 50 GHz bandwidth sampling module. The 80E01 has a measured bandwidth greater than or equal to 50 GHz and a calculated rise time less than or equal to 7.0 ps. Displayed noise is typically 1.8 mVRMS. The front-panel connector is female 2.4 mm and an SMA adapter is provided (2.4 mm male to 2.92 mm female) to maintain compatibility with SMA connector systems.

80E02 Low-noise Sampling Module

The 80E02 is a dual-channel, 12.5 GHz sampling module specifically designed for low-noise measurements in digital communications and device characterisation applications. It provides an acquisition rise time of 28 ps and typically 400 µVRMS of displayed noise.

The 80E02 is the ideal instrument for low-noise applications. Common applications for the 80E02 are capturing and displaying switching characteristics of high-speed communications circuits, making accurate statistical measurements of signal noise and signal timing jitter, or obtaining stable timing measurements of fast digital ICs.

80E03 Sampling Module

The 80E03 is a dual-channel, 20 GHz sampling module. This sampling module provides an acquisition rise time of 17.5 ps or less.

80E04 TDR Sampling Module

The 80E04 is a dual-channel Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) sampling module. This sampling module provides an acquisition rise time of 17.5 ps or less, with a typical 20 GHz equivalent bandwidth.

Each channel of the 80E04 is capable of generating a fast step for use in TDR mode and the acquisition portion of the sampling module monitors the incident step and any reflected energy. The reflected rise time of the TDR step is 35 ps or less and the polarity of each channel's step can be selected independently. This allows for differential or common-mode testing of two coupled lines, in addition to the independent testing of isolated lines.

The 80E04 characterizes crosstalk by using the TDR step to drive one line while monitoring a second line with the other channel.

The "filter" function on the CSA8000/TDS8000 can be used with TDR or crosstalk measurements to characterize expected system performance with slower edge rates.

80E06 Electrical Sampling Module

8000 Series Sampling Oscilloscopes configured with the 80E06 - 70+ GHz Electrical Sampling Module - allow users to characterize high-speed devices and circuits. This module's ultra-high bandwidth, coupled with its low noise, provides world-class signal fidelity in the acquired signal. The front panel connector is female 1.85 mm which includes a precision adapter to 2.92 mm with a 50 Ohm SMA termination.
