03 | Keysight | Infiniium DCA-X 86100D Wide-Bandwidth Oscilloscope Mainframe and Modules - Data Sheet

Overview of the Infiniium DCA-X

High-fidelity waveform characterization (Yellow: raw trace, Blue:

de-embedded waveform)

Scope mode

Eye/Mask mode

Fast transmitter characterization using eye diagram analysis and

automated mask margin measurements

TDR/TDT mode

Accurate time domain reflectometry/transmission and S-Parameter

measurements

Jitter mode

Precision jitter, amplitude, and frequency analysis capability

These modes are further complimented by the following features

that provide additional insight and analysis capability:

– De-embedding, embedding, equalizer capability

– Phase noise/Jitter spectrum analysis

– Phase locked loop (PLL) analysis

– And more…

Precision measurements, more margin, and more

insight

The 86100D DCA-X oscilloscope combines high analog

bandwidth, low jitter, and low noise performance to accurately

characterize optical and electrical designs from 50 Mb/s to over

80 Gb/s. The mainframe provides the foundation for powerful

insight and measurement capability, such as de-embedding of

cables and fixtures, that improve margins and allow engineers to

see the true performance of their designs.

The 86100D DCA-X can be viewed as four powerful instruments in one:

Modular

The modular system means that the instrument can grow to

meet your needs, when you need it. There’s no need to purchase

capability that you don’t need now. The DCA-X supports a wide

range of modules for testing optical and electrical designs. Select

modules to get the specific bandwidth, filtering, and sensitivity

you need. The DCA-X supports all modules in the DCA family and

is 100% backwards compatible with the 86100C mainframe.

High channel count

The DCA-X can measure from one to 16 channels simultaneously

with no significant loss in throughput. Create an affordable

high-capacity test system by measuring multiple signals in

parallel.

Software

The DCA-X provides powerful analysis capability that is enabled

through licensed software options.

Examples include 86100D-200 for fast and accurate jitter

analysis, 86100D-SIM for de-embedding and/or embedding of

fixtures and cables, and the N1012A/N1014A/N108XA Series test

applications.
