Tektronix MDO3052 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope

The Tektronix MDO3052 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope incorporates a spectrogram display, which is perfect for checking gradually changing RF phenomena. The x-axis represents recurrence, like in any common spectrum display, while the y-axis represents time. Furthermore, color is utilized to demonstrate amplitude. Spectrogram slices are created by taking every range and "flipping it up on its edge" with the goal that it's one-pixel row tall after assigning colors to every pixel based on the amplitude at that recurrence. Cold colors (blue and green) are low amplitudes and hot colors (yellow and red) are higher amplitudes. Each new acquisition includes another slice at the base of the spectrogram and the history moves up one row. At the point when acquisitions are ceased, the user can look back through the spectrogram to check any single spectrum slice.

The MDO3052 Oscilloscope offers a unique ultra-wide capture bandwidth function. The present remote communications fluctuate altogether with time, utilizing advanced computerized modulation schemes and transmission systems that include bursting the output. These modulation schemes can have a wide transmission capacity too. Traditional swept or stepped range analyzers are badly prepared to see these sorts of signals as they are just ready to check a little part of the spectrum at a time.

The measure of spectrum procured in one acquisition is known as the capture bandwidth. Traditional range analyzers sweep or step the catch bandwidth through the desired span to manufacture the requested image. Thus, while the range analyzer is acquiring one segment of the spectrum, the event the user cares about might occur in another part of the range.
