Why this is still worth your time: an oscilloscope is one of those tools where small misunderstandings compound into bad debugging decisions. A short oscilloscope tutorial that re-centers you on ...

At the budget end of the oscilloscope range lie the so-called pocket ‘scopes. About the size of a deck of cards, they combine a microcontroller and an LCD screen to make an instrument with a bandwidth ...

Figure 1: The silicon-based ultrafast optical oscilloscope. The pump-pulse bandwidth and the length of the dispersive path determine the record length and resolution of the oscilloscope. The ...

If you could only own one piece of test equipment, it should probably be an oscilloscope. Then again, modern scopes often have multiple functions, so maybe that’s not a fair assertion. A case in point ...

An oscilloscope and a device under test (DUT) constitute a de-facto system. In it, the most overlooked element is the interface between the two: the oscilloscope’s probes. Test personnel simply grab ...

How small of a chip can an oscilloscope detect? How subtle of a signal can it catch? The oscilloscope developed by a Chinese company is making technical breakthrough and demonstrating "China precision ...

Liu Sang, CEO of Shenzhen Longsight Technologies Co., Ltd, introduces the 90GHz ultra-high-speed real-time oscilloscope in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, Oct. 15, 2025. [Photo/Xinhua] ...

Jerobeam Fenderson’s magic mushrooms will make you trip. But you don't have to eat these fungi to get their mesmerizing effects---just watch, and let them dance and multiply in front of you. Look, I’m ...

RF signals historically are measured using spectrum analyzers, at least that was before oscilloscopes offered sufficient bandwidth for those measurements. With oscilloscope bandwidths over 100 GHz, RF ...

The first oscilloscope I ever used professionally was an old synchronized sweep instrument. Obtaining a stable display on that old oscilloscope was an art. Now I appreciate all the triggering tools ...

Before Wiis and PlayStations, before you boasted about how many bits your console had, and before Ralph Baer's Odyssey first hit Sears shelves, a bored physicist at the Brookhaven National Laboratory ...
