Press Release Summary:
With R&S RTM-K18 spectrum analysis and spectrogram option, R&S RTM bench oscilloscopes can simultaneously analyze analog, digital, protocol-based, and RF signals. Option can also be used in 1 GHz model and enables oscilloscopes to analyze time domain while simultaneously analyzing spectrum, logic, and serial protocol. Time and spectrum analyses are independently configurable, and parameters such as center frequency and resolution bandwidth can be specifically configured to match task.
Original Press Release:
R&S RTM Oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz: Now Simultaneous Time Domain and Spectrum Analysis up to 1 GHz
Oscilloscopes that can reliably handle both time domain and spectrum analysis play an important role in the development of new electronic devices. Unique in their class, R&S RTM bench oscilloscopes can simultaneously analyze analog, digital, protocol-based and RF signals. Thanks to the new spectrum analysis and spectrogram option, which can also be used in the new 1 GHz model.
Munich -- Rohde & Schwarz has added the R&S RTM-K18 spectrum analysis and spectrogram option to its R&S RTM oscilloscope family, making the R&S RTM the only oscilloscope in its class that can analyze the time domain while simultaneously analyzing the spectrum, logic and serial protocol. Interactions such as those that occur in electronic devices with RF components are quickly analyzed in a single measurement.
Time and spectrum analyses can be configured completely independently of one another. This means that users can simultaneously analyze signal details that differ in time and frequency, with the optimum settings for each. Separate implementation of the signal paths makes this possible. Like a spectrum analyzer, important parameters such as center frequency and resolution bandwidth can be specifically configured to match each measurement task. The hardware-implemented digital downconverter (DDC) reduces the spectrum to the components relevant for analysis. As a result, the R&S RTM offers the fastest and most reactive analysis of embedded designs in its class.
Additional displays for min. hold, max. hold and average, as well as markers for automatic peak value searches, support the user during spectrum analysis. Changes in the spectrum over time or sporadic unwanted signals are immediately visible in the spectrogram display. The amplitudes versus frequency and time are color coded.
With the R&S RTM-K15 history and segmented memory option, users can load all acquisition components from the 460 MSa deep memory and analyze them with the R&S RTM measurement functions.
The R&S RTM portfolio, which already consists of models with 200 MHz, 350 MHz and 500 MHz bandwidth, now includes two-channel and four-channel models with 1 GHz bandwidth. The new models naturally exhibit the same excellent analog characteristics, offering true 1mV/div at the full bandwidth and full ADC resolution with exceedingly low 270 µV noise.
The new 1 GHz R&S RTM oscilloscopes with two or four channels and the R&S RTM-K18 spectrum analysis and spectrogram option are now available from Rohde & Schwarz. The instruments will be unveiled to the public at embedded world 2015 in hall 4, booth 218. For more information, go to www.scope-of-the-art.com/ad/press/rtm.
