3SOLUTIONS FOR SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING RESEARCH
There’s a race going on to develop technology based on uniquely quantum or subatomic 
phenomena. Institutions are working to take data processing to the next level through quantum 
computing. Laboratories are studying and developing applications of quantum entanglement to 
create instantaneous communication anywhere in the universe. We are standing at the edge of a 
new age of science and potentially the birth of new, culture shifting technologies. 
It may not sound like a quantum computer, a miles long laser-interferometer and a quantum 
entanglement have much in common, but when you zoom out, these technological developments 
all face similar challenges. How do you set up the signals that trigger what you want to observe? 
How do you ensure timing? How do you scale up a solution? 
8 Channels, 16 Bit Resolution. 
Less Noise. Cleaner Signals.
The New Tektronix 5200A Arbitrary Waveform Generator 
combines high signal fidelity at a low cost with scalability. 
With code compatibility you can fast forward integration and 
scaling while simplifying waveform design. Test and validate 
complex, sensitive devices with the accuracy and quality you 
expect from Tektronix AWG’s.
Oscilloscopes for Troubleshooting 
and High-Speed Acquisition
Tektronix builds oscilloscopes for applications ranging 
from basic undergraduate lab work, to microwave signal 
analysis. Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes like the MDO3000 
Series and MDO4000C Series combine an oscilloscope and 
spectrum analyzer in one instrument, providing visibility in 
both the time and frequency domains. They include digital 
inputs so you can see as many as 20 analog and digital 
signals at once.
The MDO4000C lets you see both time and frequency 
information at the same time, so you can see how a 
spectrum changes with respect to other signals in the 
system. The MSO/DPO70000C/DX/SX Series provides  
high-speed signal acquisition performance up to 70GHz and 
200 GS/s with over 30 customizable application-specific 
software analysis packages.
