Normal, Average, Max Hold, and Min Hold spectrum traces

RF measurements

The MDO3000 Series includes three automated RF measurements -

Channel Power, Adjacent Channel Power Ratio, and Occupied Bandwidth.

When one of these RF measurements is activated, the oscilloscope

automatically turns on the Average spectrum trace and sets the detection

method to Average for optimal measurement results.

Automated Channel Power measurement

RF probing

Signal input methods on spectrum analyzers are typically limited to cabled

connections or antennas. But with the optional TPA-N-VPI adapter, any

active, 50 Ω TekVPI probe can be used with the spectrum analyzer on the

MDO3000 Series. This enables additional flexibility when hunting for noise

sources and enables easier spectral analysis by using true signal browsing

on a spectrum analyzer input.

In addition, an optional preamplifier accessory assists in the investigation of

lower-amplitude signals. The TPA-N-PRE preamplifier provides 10 dB

nominal gain across the 9 kHz – 3 GHz frequency range.

The optional TPA-N-VPI adapter enables any active, 50 Ω TekVPI probe to be

connected to the RF input.

3 – Arbitrary Function Generator (optional)

The MDO3000 contains an optional integrated arbitrary function generator

(option MDO3AFG), perfect for simulating sensor signals within a design or

adding noise to signals to perform margin testing.

The integrated function generator provides output of predefined waveforms

up to 50 MHz for sine, square, pulse, ramp/triangle, DC, noise, sin(x)/x

(Sinc), Gaussian, Lorentz, exponential rise/fall, Haversine and cardiac.
