What is a Sampling oscilloscope?

A Sampling Oscilloscope is a specialized electronic measurement instrument designed to analyze high-frequency signals. Unlike a conventional oscilloscope, it samples portions of the signal and reconstructs the waveform by combining these samples. This technique allows effective measurement of very high frequencies (above several GHz). It is particularly useful for evaluating waveform accuracy, time resolution, and delay characteristics.

Sampling oscilloscopes are primarily used in telecommunications, electronic device development, and high-speed digital signal analysis. They are also indispensable in the fields of ultra-high-frequency circuits and optical communications.

Application of Sampling oscilloscope

１．Signal analysis in communication systems
Accurately measure waveforms in optical fiber communications or high-speed data transmissions.
２．Characterization of electronic components
Analyze switching characteristics of high-speed transistors and ICs.
３．Tuning high-frequency circuits
Optimize the performance of RF amplifiers and filters.
４．Debugging high-speed digital circuits
Detect timing errors in clock signals and high-speed bus signals.
