At the budget end of the oscilloscope range lie the so-called pocket ‘scopes. About the size of a deck of cards, they combine a microcontroller and an LCD screen to make an instrument with a bandwidth ...

RF signals historically are measured using spectrum analyzers, at least that was before oscilloscopes offered sufficient bandwidth for those measurements. With oscilloscope bandwidths over 100 GHz, RF ...

Oscilloscopes from different manufacturers look different, but they all have many common elements. If the oscilloscope has a front panel, it will have basic controls for vertical, horizontal, and ...

Ok, you want to get an oscilloscope. Where do you start? This TechXchange includes content that will be useful for the operation of a scope in your test environment. This includes considerations like ...
