Information

The CSA 803C Communications Signal Analyzer provides unprecedented capabilities in capturing and accurately measuring high-speed electrical events. Some of the main features of the CSA 803C are: ■ Fast rise time and wide bandwidth, as determined by sampling head. ■ Sweep speeds from 1 picosecond per division to 5 milliseconds per division, adjustable in calibrated 1 picosecond per division steps. ■ 200 kHz sampling rate for high system throughput and real-time display. ■ Digital trace capture, display, and storage. Provides a bright stable display even with signals of low repetition rate. ■ Traces are captured with 8-bit vertical resolution, and can have from 512 to 5120 points each. ■ Simultaneous display of up to eight traces. Each trace can represent a single input channel, or a complex expression that mathematically combines multiple input channels, or an expanded window of another trace. ■ Time or voltage histograms displayed on-screen and updated continuously as trace data are collected. ■ Mask testing for easy “go/no-go” testing and error rate measurements. ■ Standard mask testing using a library of 47 predefined telecommunication masks. ■ Color grading provides a third dimension, sample density, to displayed data and allows histogram and mask analysis after collecting data. ■ Full-function trigger up to 3.0 GHz. ■ AC coupled trigger prescaler to 10 GHz. (except Option 10) ■ Single-ended and differential TDR measurements are available on all channels using SD-24 sampling heads. ■ Automatic measurement capability that allows a wide variety of complex measurements on a signal and gives real time updating. Twenty-eight measurements are available, including rise time, fall time, rms voltage, delay, width, duty cycle, and frequency. Measurement statistics provide the mean and standard deviation of your measurements. Measurements can be based on data in the color grading database, for example, fully automatic noise and jitter measurements. ■ Fast fourier transform capability that allows you to obtain a frequency domain display of a given trace. You can display the FFT magnitude and FFT phase of the trace. ■ A unique statistical measurement mode that allows pulse parameter measurements on random data (for example, eye diagrams) as well as accurate timing measurements in the presence of jitter. ■ An Autoset function that allows quick adjustment of settings by pressing a single button. ■ Menu driven touch-screen operation that simplifies operator control of the CSA 803C. It disables invalid selections and indicates to the operator which choices are logical at any time. ■ Programmable control of the CSA 803C that allows it to be run from an attached computer or instrument controller via the RS-232-C or GPIB interfaces. ■ Continuous self-calibration system that ensures accurate, stable trace data and measurement results.
