Tektronix 82A04 Phase Reference Module
Enhance your digital serial analysis with the Tektronix 82A04 Phase Reference Module, designed to seamlessly integrate with the DSA8300 digital serial analyzer sampling oscilloscope mainframe. This advanced module provides exceptionally low jitter and drift sample position information, offering precision that is crucial in today’s high-speed communication environment.
The Tektronix 82A04 utilizes the phase of the clock signal supplied by the user, which results in a jitter of less than 200 femtoseconds. This remarkable precision not only improves signal fidelity but also allows for triggerless acquisition, giving operators the flexibility to conduct analyses with ease. Its primary application lies in the acquisition and analysis of high-speed optical and electrical signals—perfect for engineers working on cutting-edge communication devices and systems.
The innovative design of the Tektronix 82A04, when paired with the DSA8300, brings phase reference time-base functionality to a new level. Users can effortlessly switch between various time base and acquisition modes without compromising performance. It accommodates any phase-reference frequency within its operating range, and features like FrameScan remain readily accessible.
Key Features and Specifications of the Tektronix 82A04:
