Precision Waveform Analyzer - Agilent 86108A

Agilent announced the 86108A precision waveform analyzer, designed

for engineers involved in design verification and validation of high-speed electrical communications components and systems . Engineers can be confident that they are seeing the true performance of their signals with industry best residual jitter well below 100 femtoseconds and channel bandwidths to 35 GHz.

Agilent’s 86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer

Agilent 86108A precision waveform analyzer offers:

• New triggering architecture, allowing simple connection schemes and eliminating the sampling delay that has historically corrupted jitter measurements made with a sampling scope
• Lowest intrinsic jitter, which provides the most accurate measurement waveforms
• An internal phase detector that enables accurate measurements of PLL bandwidth, jitter transfer and jitter/phase noise spectrum
• Internal high-gain clock recovery, allowing for easy measurement setup and accurate analysis of signals with spread-spectrum clocking 

With integrated instrumentation grade hardware clock recovery, measurement setup is made easy. This allows the Agilent 86108A to trigger directly from a  differential data or single-ended , eliminating the need for a separate trigger input. The integrated triggering system functions even in the presence of spread-spectrum clocking, allowing accurate signal analysis on components and systems used for serial busses such as PCI Express® and SATA. The on-board phase detector enables a simple and accurate technique to determine PLL bandwidth on devices with either clock or data inputs and outputs.

T86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer - Connection Schematic

The Agilent 86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer is a plug-in module used with the 86100C Infiniium DCA-J Digital Communications Analyzer that provides an ideal solution to this accuracy problem. The 86108A has a bandwidth in excess of 33 GHz, channel noise of less than 300 uV, and residual jitter at an astounding level of under 100 femtoseconds (60 fs typical). This provides a "gold standard" for waveform accuracy and translates into confidence that the waveform displayed by the oscilloscope is a faithful representation of the true device performance for today’s technology as well as future generations.

Price of the 86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer starting at $85,000,-
