High-performance oscilloscopes include 5G software capabilities

These scopes are preferred by RF system designers for viewing power rails, digital control buses and I/O signals, in addition to RF signals. Each channel is backed by a digital downconverter that enables spectrum analysis synchronized with time-domain waveforms. This provides engineers with a time-coherent view of the choreography of signals that make up their designs. 5G system designers can now add 5G NR signal analysis to Tektronix oscilloscopes, which enables them to quickly diagnose faulty signal interactions on a single oscilloscope that would otherwise require painstaking correlation between multiple instruments.
