Tektronix MDO4014-3 and MDO4034-3 entry-level models of the MDO4000 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope Series

Tektronix has expanded its MDO4000 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope Series to include two entry-level models. With the same features and functionality of the MDO4000, the models put breakthrough time and frequency domain analysis in the hands of engineers.

Inexpensive RF technologies are being integrated into everyday applications from apparel tags, to livestock monitoring clips, price displays on store shelves, and short-range wireless remote control of household objects. While many of these are lower-performance applications, the addition of RF makes debug challenges greater than ever. The new MDO4000 models address this trend by providing a low entry point solution that allows engineers to capture time-correlated analog, digital and RF signals for a complete system view, saving debug time.The MDO4000 is suitable as a debug tool for these mass market applications because it includes both oscilloscope and spectrum analyser functionality, and adds the capability to capture time-correlated analog, digital and RF signals.

The MDO4014-3 and MDO4034-3 models offer four analog channels, 16 digital channels and one RF channel. To achieve the lower price level, the new models provide lower analog bandwidth of 100 or 350 MHz respectively, sufficient for many embedded designs incorporating RF. RF frequency range for both models extends from 50 kHz to 3 GHz.
