How does an oscilloscope work?

common problems 3350

An oscilloscope uses a probe to connect to a test point in a circuit and amplify or attenuate the voltage at that point. The subsequent signal path depends on the oscilloscope, but in general, analog circuits condition the signal and analog-to-digital converters digitize it for further evaluation, processing, and analysis.

  • What is an impedance tester?

    286

    The article will cover the basics of impedance and points of measurement. Impedance is the resistance of an AC circuit and is invisible. Therefore, it must be measured using a specialized measuring instrument such as an impedance tester. People who have never touched an impedance tester before may be more concerned about how to use it and what to look for when using it. Therefore, this article will present in an easy-to-understand way the...

  • How does a vector network analyzer work?

    368

    A network analyzer consists of a signal source and a receiver. The receiver will detect changes in the output signal of the device (or network) and then compare it to the source signal fed into the device. To evaluate the effect of the device on current and voltage, the VNA measures the resulting amplitude and phase response. This results in transmission and reflection measurements, impedance and s-parameters, which can be used by the test engineer to...
