Product Description

Overview & Architecture

From 50 Mb/s to 224 Gb/s, the Keysight N1000A DCA-X wide-bandwidth oscilloscope can measure high-speed digital designs with accuracy and precision. Choose from a variety of plug-in modules to customize the N1000A DCA-X mainframe to your preferred sensitivity, filtering, and bandwidth.

A mainframe and numerous modules for flexible testing make up the DCA-X platform. The constancy and versatility of the DCA-X series ensure great accuracy in any measurement.

Helps shield your investment against obsolescence by supporting both current and older, discontinued optical, electrical, and TDR modules.

Jitter as low as 50 fs, noise as low as 275 uV, and bandwidth to > 110 GHz should all be tested.

High test throughput is possible with sample rates of up to 250 kSa/s and support for up to 16 channels.

Integrate plug-in modules for electrical, optical, and/or TDR/TDT/S-parameter analysis to personalize.

8X increase in the precision of time intervals.

Timebases with temperature control increase resistance to environmental fluctuations.
