Tektronix Mask Testing Includes Hardware Clock Recovery
The Tektronix MSO73304DX-MTH is a mainframe oscilloscope model from the MSO/DPO70000DX Series, specifically the MSO73304DX, equipped with the MTH option. The MTH option enables advanced mask testing capabilities and includes hardware-based clock recovery, allowing for precise compliance and margin testing of high-speed serial data signals. This configuration is designed for engineers who require comprehensive signal integrity analysis, jitter analysis, and compliance verification for standards such as PCI Express, SATA, and others. The hardware clock recovery feature ensures accurate timing measurements by extracting the clock directly from the data stream, which is essential for analyzing serial data signals where an external clock is not available. The MSO73304DX offers a bandwidth of 33 GHz and a sample rate of up to 100 GS/s, making it suitable for demanding applications in high-speed digital design and validation.
