Oscilloscopes 300 MHz

General information

This page features digital oscilloscopes with 300 MHz and 350 MHz bandwidth. The design can be desktop, portable or as a USB attachment to a computer.

The most functional series, which includes models with a 350 MHz bandwidth, is Tektronix MSO5. Digital oscilloscopes in this series are equipped with a 39 cm touch screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels and an innovative user interface.

A simpler series, which includes models with a 350 MHz bandwidth, is Tektronix MSO4. They contain 4 or 6 analog channels with support for FlexChannel technology (up to 48 digital channels). Signal digitization is performed using precise 12-bit ADCs, and rare signal anomalies are searched for using DPO technology (more than 500,000 waveforms per second). Additionally, the bandwidth of these oscilloscopes can be expanded to 1.5 GHz at any time with a simple software key activation.

Another professional series that has an oscilloscope with a 350 MHz bandwidth is the Tektronix MDO4000C. The devices in this series are unique in that they contain a built-in spectrum analyzer up to 6 GHz. At the same time, the signals from the analog and digital channels of these oscilloscopes and the signal from its RF input are precisely related in time, which makes it possible to correlate events in the frequency domain with the causes that cause them in the time domain and vice versa.

Of all the mid-level series, the most functional is Tektronix MDO3 and it includes two 350 MHz oscilloscopes for 2 channels and 4 channels. The series is equipped with a large touch screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels and a built-in spectrum analyzer up to 3 GHz (simpler than the MDO4000C series). Additionally, the bandwidth of these oscilloscopes can be expanded to 500 MHz at any time by activating the software key.

Of the mid-range USB oscilloscopes offered by Pico Technology (United Kingdom), the PicoScope 6000E series includes one model with a 300 MHz bandwidth. This is the PicoScope 6403E model with four analog channels, plus the ability to add 8 or 16 digital channels by simply connecting one or two digital probes.
