See both the time and frequency domain in a single glance. View the RF spectrum at Automated peak markers identify frequency and amplitude of any point in time to see how it changes over time or with device state. spectrum peaks Solve the most complicated design issues, quickly and efficiently, with an Manual markers enable non-peak measurements oscilloscope as integrated as your design. Trace types Include: Normal, Average, Max Hold, and Min Hold Detection types include: +Peak, -Peak, Average, and Sample Winner of 13 industry awards Spectrogram display enables easy observation and insight into slowly changing RF phenomena Automated measurements include: Channel Power, Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR), and Occupied Bandwidth (OBW) Trigger on RF power level Triggered or Free Run spectral analysis Mixed-domain analysis Time-correlated analog, digital, and RF signal acquisitions in a single instrument Wave Inspector controls provide easy navigation of time- correlated data from both the time and frequency domains Amplitude, frequency, and phase vs. time waveforms derived from spectrum analyzer input Selectable spectrum time to discover and analyze how RF spectrum changes over time - even on a stopped acquisition Optional serial triggering and analysis - serial protocol trigger, decode, 2 and search for I C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, 2 RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, and I S/LJ/RJ/TDM 264 mm (10.4 inches) bright XGA color display Small footprint and lightweight - Only 147 mm (5.8 inches) deep and 5 kg (11 lb.) www.tektronix.com 1Datasheet Connectivity The spectrum shown in the Frequency Domain view is taken from the period of time indicated by the short orange bar in the time domain view Two USB 2.0 host ports on the front panel and two on the rear panel for quick and easy data storage, printing, and connecting a USB known as the Spectrum Time. With the MDO4000B Series, Spectrum Time can be moved through the acquisition to investigate how the RF spectrum keyboard changes over time. And this can be done while the oscilloscope is live and USB 2.0 device port on the rear panel for easy connection to a PC or running or on a stopped acquisition. direct printing to a PictBridge -compatible printer Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port for network connection and video out port to export the oscilloscope display to a monitor or projector Optional application support Advanced RF triggering Power analysis Limit and mask testing HDTV and custom video analysis Vector signal analysis Introducing the Mixed Domain Oscilloscope The MDO4000B Series is the world s first oscilloscope with a built in The upper half of the MDO4000B Series display shows the Time Domain view of the spectrum analyzer. This integration enables you to continue to use your analog and digital channels, while the lower half shows the Frequency Domain view of debug tool of choice, the oscilloscope, to investigate frequency domain the spectrum analyzer channel. The orange bar - Spectrum Time - shows the period of time used to calculate the RF spectrum. issues rather than having to find and re-learn a spectrum analyzer. However, the power of the MDO4000B Series goes well beyond simply Figures 1 through 4 show a simple everyday application tuning of a PLL. observing the frequency domain as you would on a spectrum analyzer. The This application illustrates the powerful connection between the time real power is in its ability to correlate events in the frequency domain with domain and the frequency domain that the MDO4000B Series provides. the time domain phenomena that caused them. With its wide capture bandwidth and ability to move Spectrum Time throughout the acquisition, this single capture includes the same spectral When both the spectrum analyzer and any analog or digital channels are content as approximately 1,500 unique test setups and acquisitions on a on, the oscilloscope display is split into two views. The upper half of the traditional spectrum analyzer. For the first time ever, correlating events, display is a traditional oscilloscope view of the Time Domain. The lower half observing interactions, or measuring timing latencies between the two of the display is a Frequency Domain view of the spectrum analyzer input. domains is exceptionally easy, giving you quick insight to your designs Note that the Frequency Domain view is not simply an FFT of the analog or operation. digital channels in the instrument, but is the spectrum acquired from the spectrum analyzer input. Another key difference is that with traditional oscilloscope FFTs, you can typically either get the desired view of the FFT display, or the desired view of your other time domain signals of interest, but never both at the same time. This is because traditional oscilloscopes only have a single acquisition system with a single set of user settings such as record length, sample rate, and time per division that drive all data views. But with the MDO4000B Series, the spectrum analyzer has its own acquisition system that is independent, but time correlated, to the analog and digital channel acquisition systems. This allows each domain to be configured optimally, providing a complete time correlated system view of all analog, digital, and RF signals of interest. 2 www.tektronix.com
