Keysight N1000A DCA-X Wide Bandwidth Oscilloscope Mainframe
The Keysight N1000A DCA-X is a high-performance scope mainframe that is suitable for high-speed digital signal analysis from 50 MBd up to over 80 GBd on a 16-channel maximum concurrent channel. Supported are optical transceiver design, ASIC/FPGA/IC characterization, validation on a serial bus, as well as channel integrity via TDR/TDT and S-parameter measures. The platform brings module-based hardware and software together to deliver trustworthy timing, jitter, and signal integrity analysis in production, R&D, and fault-finding.
The N1000A has an i5 Quad Core processor, 8 GB of RAM, 240 GB SSD, and a 64-bit OS on Windows 10. The display is 1024x768 on a 10.4-inch screen with customizable display color, persistence, and graticules. The instrument is supported with an external display on a DisplayPort or VGA. The interfaces are USB 2.0/3.0 ports, GPIB, 1000base-T (gigabit) Ethernet, as well as a precision timebase input (Option PTB) for clocking with low jitter. The instrument is operational in the 10°C to 40°C range in terms of temperature and weighs 20.5 kg with no module.
Key measurement attributes are a 100 fs/div - 50 ms/div timebase range, 500 fs time interval accuracy, and pattern-locking functionality with multiple channel-synchronized analysis. The vertical resolution is module-based with 16-bit A-D conversion in the N10xx series. The instrument is triggered in Freerun, Edge, Clock, and Pattern Lock (Option PLK), with a frequency limit of 32 GHz and a 200 fs RMS jitter. The instrument is a plug-in module compatible with 80-GHz bandwidth that can be configured for optical signal analysis as well as electric signal analysis.
Integration with FlexDCA software creates a shared interface across capture, analysis, and automation with compatibility with the N1002A Optimization Controller as well as DCA-M modules in multiple-DUT installations. Some applications are the production testing of 800G/1.6T modules, validation of PAM4 OER/TDECQ, as well as high-speed channel characterization. Modularity, a high level of precision in timing, as well as channel scalability in the N1000A make it a universal platform for enhancing high-speed digital as well as optical communications technologies.
