Agilent Technologies launched the Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscope family with industry-leading, real-time bandwidth of 32GHz. Ten new models range from 16 GHz to 32 GHz and are bandwidth upgradable. These new scopes deliver the lowest noise and have the lowest jitter measurement floor in the industry, ensuring superior measurement accuracy.

The accompanying probing system offers browsing to 30 GHz with a full range of accessories rated to 28 GHz and the ability to upgrade bandwidth in the future. In addition, the 90000 X-Series scopes offer more than 40 measurement-specific application packages including jitter, triggering, measurement, and analysis tools and full compliance certification test suites.

Engineers working with high-energy physics, emerging wireline communication standards, and high-speed serial data links, such as USB, SAS, or PCI Express, use oscilloscopes to capture fast, single-shot events and to make critical measurements like jitter while ensuring compliance to industry standards for interoperability. With data rates in the next few years extending beyond 10 Gbps, engineers need oscilloscopes that can deliver higher-bandwidth measurements.

Worldwide response to evaluation units has been extremely positive. “The banner specifications impressed me, and we've already seen it functioning,” said Charles Moore, chief SerDes architect and Avago Technologies Fellow. “Based on Agilent's history of delivering clean instruments, I expect the Infiniium 90000 X-Series to improve our ability to characterize our ever-faster SerDes.”

Agilent invested in a proprietary indium phosphide (InP) integrated circuit process to enable high-frequency capability while yielding the industry's lowest noise floor and jitter measurement floor. Custom aluminum nitride packaging technology combines five InP chips in the front-end multichip module which incorporates unique noise shielding and heat dissipation techniques.

This breakthrough technology gives the new Infiniium 90000-X Series scopes true analog hardware performance to 32 GHz. Other vendors, limited to 16 GHz hardware technology blocks, employ various techniques such as digital signal processing boosting and frequency domain interleave to increase the bandwidth specification of their scopes. However, these methods increase noise density and distortions with detrimental impact on measurement accuracy, explains the manufacturer.

The new Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes measure random jitter at approximately 50 percent of the level reported by competitive products. This increased measurement accuracy returns critical design margin to engineers. This is made possible through the following key characteristics:

- a low noise floor of 2mV at 50mV/div, 32 GHz

- a low oscilloscope jitter measurement floor at about 180 femtoseconds

- a deep memory of 2 Gpts.

Agilent太强大了，32GHz超高速示波器！这真是一个神器，从此以后不会被某两个公司鄙视带宽窄了，其实原先也不是真的带宽比他们窄。 InP，就是InP，大有可为！

太原突击战。前天下午动车，只买到站票，车又晚点，害我站了整整五个小时，腿都快断了。今天中午又返回来，感觉累得要死。一大堆的事情要做啊，怎么 理出个头绪来呢？
