Tektronix 82A04  Tektronix 82A04 Phase Reference ModuleThe Tektronix 82A04 Phase Reference Module extends the capability of the DSA8300*1 digital serial Analyser sampling Oscilloscope mainframe by providing extremely low jitter/drift sample position information to the mainframe. This sample position information is based on the phase of a clock the user provides to the Tektronix 82A04 input. The benefits of using the sample position information based on a clock signal are two-fold – an extremely low jitter of –???and the possibility of a triggerless acquisition. The typical application is the acquisition and analysis of very high-speed optical and electrical signals in high-speed communication devices and systems and similar areas. The Tektronix 82A04 together with the DSA8300 implements the phase reference time-base functionality in a novel way, giving the user the freedom to select from time base and acquisition modes without compromises; any phase-reference frequency within the operating range is accommodated, and even the advanced features, such as FrameScan, remain available. The separate DSP per acquisition slot architecture of the DSA8300 enables the acquisition rate in the Phase Reference mode to reach over 40 kS/s*2.Features and Specifications of the Tektronix 82A04 includes:
