Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The Tektronix TDS 8000 is a digital sampling oscilloscope offering DC to 50 GHz bandwidth. The TDS 8000 uses a modular architecture supporting up to eight channels. The TDS 8000 provides a sample interval of 10 femtoseconds and equivalent time sweep speeds from 0.5 ps/div to 5 ms/div.[1]
What it is
How it works
The TDS 8000 uses modular sampling inputs, dedicated per-channel digital signal processing, and a timebase that can be locked to a reference for long-term stability.[3]
The TDS 8000 supports electrical and optical plug-in modules and provides automatic measurement and waveform-processing functions on the instrument.[3]
Where it fits in the process flow
The TDS 8000 is used with semiconductor testing, impedance and crosstalk characterization using time-domain reflectometry, and high-speed digital communications.[3]
