What is an oscilloscope?

common problems 3960

An oscilloscope is a test instrument used to capture and display a graph of the waveform of an electrical signal over time. For example, it can graph voltage (y-axis) versus time (x-axis) on its display.

Oscilloscopes are powerful tools for designing and testing electronic equipment. They play a very important role in determining whether system equipment components are working properly and which components are failing. They can also help you determine if newly designed components are working as expected. This can be done by analyzing signal parameters such as amplitude, period, frequency, rise time, and pulse width. Modern digital oscilloscopes can also perform mathematical operations on waveforms, such as Fourier transforms, for faster analysis.

  • What does the best network analyzer look like?

    430

    The selection criteria for a VNA depends heavily on the application or usage scenario. Typically, selection criteria include frequency range, number of ports required (from 2 to 24 (multiport) and even 48 (with switching matrix)), output power, and instrument class from economy to handheld to high-end. Vector network analyzers are both signal generators and receivers...

  • What are spectrum analyzers used for?

    503

    Spectrum analyzers measure the amplitude of an input signal versus frequency over the entire frequency range to determine the power of the signal. Spectrum analyzers are capable of performing tests such as noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to characterize the performance of a device and its contribution to overall system performance. For more information, see the application guide Spectrum Analysis Basics. ,

  • Clamp Meter Usage

    416

    If you want to measure current, voltage, etc., you need specialized measuring equipment. Analog and digital multimeters are usually used to measure current, but the circuit must be cut off and the multimeter and the circuit connected in series in order to make the measurement. However, it is not uncommon that it is not possible to disconnect the circuit in some cases. In addition, there is a danger of electric shock when the circuit is disconnected. In this case the clamp meter...
