10-bit vertical resolution
The R&S®RTM3000 features a customized Rohde & Schwarz
designed 10-bit A/D converter that delivers a fourfold im-
provement over conventional 8-bit A/D converters.
The increased resolution results in sharper waveforms with
more signal details that would otherwise be missed. One
example is the characterization of switched-mode power
supplies. The voltages across the switching device must
be determined during the on/off times within the same ac-
quisition. For precise measurements of small voltage com-
ponents, a high resolution of more than 8-bit is essential.
500µV/div: full measurement bandwidth and low
noise
The R&S®RTM3000 oscilloscope offers outstanding sen-
sitivity down to 500µV/div. Traditional oscilloscopes can
only reach this level of input sensitivity by employing soft-
ware-based magnification or by limiting the bandwidth.
The R&S®RTM3000 oscilloscope shows the signal’s real
sampling points over the full measurement bandwidth
– even at 500µV/div. This ensures high measurement
accuracy.
The accuracy of the signal displayed on the screen
depends on the oscilloscope’s inherent noise. The
R&S®RTM3000 oscilloscope precisely measures even
at the smallest vertical resolution by using low-noise
frontends and state-of-the-art A/D converters.
