Jitter is a short-term variation in the timing of a digital signal from its nominal value. There are two main types of jitter, random jitter and deterministic jitter. Random jitter is unbounded, that ...

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 ...

An oscilloscope is usually the most sensitive, and arguably most versatile, tool on a hacker’s workbench, often taking billions of samples per second to produce an accurate and informative ...

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 ...

Engineering consultant Frank Hertel outlines a method of measuring an inductor’s value using only an oscilloscope and a signal or function generator.

Today, if you want to get a picture from your oscilloscope — maybe to send to a collaborator or to stick in a document or blog post — it is super easy. You can push an image to a USB stick or ...

You always hear about them, but they are hard to find: Tech talks on YouTube that are fun and interesting. Well, stop searching for test and measurement titles and check out Alan Wolke's channel. Alan ...

Oscilloscopes detect, analyse, and measure the electrical signals of an input and present the data as waveforms on the display. While observing a circuit, the oscilloscope screen depicts an array of ...
