3 Series MDO Mixed Domain Oscilloscope
With the largest display in class, improved low-level signal measurement accuracy and industry-leading probe performance, the 3 Series MDO sets a new standard for bench oscilloscopes. Whether you’re testing your baseband design for IoT or just for simple EMI sniffing, the 3 Series has a unique true hardware spectrum analyzer built right in with superior RF test performance and guaranteed RF specifications.
- Bandwidth: Up to 1 GHz
- Record length: 10 Mpoints
- Analog channels: 2 or 4
- Sample Rate: Up to 5 GS/s
Probe with industry-leading performance included
Oscilloscope probes should not be overlooked as a key element in the measurement signal path. When you buy a 3 Series MDO you get the industry’s best probes free. Featuring industry-best loading of 3.9 pF to your oscilloscope, the TPP Series probes will be your go-to probe for everyday use
Highlights
- TPP Series probes included standard. One per analog channel.
- Industry-best capacitive probe loading of 3.9 pF
- 250 MHz, 500 MHz or 1 GHz probe bandwidth depending on instrument bandwidth
Low-level signal measurement accuracy improved by as much as 40%
When you are measuring low level signals, it is critical to have a low instrument noise floor for better measurement accuracy. New front-end used in 3 series MDO can help you improve your noise measurements by as much as 40%. When you are evaluating an oscilloscope, be sure to carefully check the random noise specifications of the oscilloscope. Not all oscilloscopes are created equal, and not all oscilloscope manufacturers test and publish their random noise specifications.
