Product description
The 82A04B Phase Reference Module extends the capability of the
DSA8300
1
Digital Serial Analyzer sampling oscilloscope mainframe by
providing extremely low jitter/low drift sample position information to
the mainframe. This sample position information is based on the phase
of a reference clock signal connected to the 82A04B input.
The bene fi ts of using the sample position information based on a clock
signal are two-fold:
An extremely low jitter of <100 fs
RMS
.
The capability of a triggerless acquisition.
The typical application for the phase reference module is the acquisition
and analysis of very high speed optical and electrical signals in
high-speed computers, communication devices and systems, and similar
areas.
1 The 82A04B Phase Reference Module is also compatible with the DSA8200 Digital
Serial Analyzer, CSA8200 Communications Signal Analyzers, and the TDS8200 Digital
Sampling Oscilloscopes.
