Gw Instek MDO-2302AG 300 MHz, 2-channel, DSO, Spectrum analyzer, dual channel 25MHz AWG

The Instek MDO-2302AG 300 MHz, 2-Channel Digital Storage Oscilloscope with Spectrum Analyzer, Dual Channel 25 MHz Arbitrary Waveform Generator, features a full bandwidth range of 300MHz. It is equipped with a sampling rate of Max. 2GSa/s, memory depth of 20M/CH, and two channels. It offers the functions of both an oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. On top of that, the MDO-2302AG features a dual-channel 25MHz arbitrary waveform generator. The new generation MDO-2302AG model provides a better sampling rate and memory depth for users to obtain more realistic signal integrity, and higher bandwidth selections meet the measurement requirements of higher frequencies.

In addition to advanced oscilloscope specifications, the MDO-2302AG is also a dual-domain test platform. For frequency domain analysis, the spectrum analyzer measurement mode is provided to allow users to have frequency domain analysis with higher resolution. The FFT operation on the oscilloscope is limited by the horizontal level setting (sampling rate), and most oscilloscopes only provide 1k FFT points, so users often cannot get the correct frequency domain display. The frequency domain provided by MDO-2302AG has an operation interface the same as the general spectrum analyzer. Its fast frequency domain update is like a real time spectrum analyzer. While operating the spectrum analyzer of the MDO-2302AG, users can input Center frequency, Span, Start frequency, and Stop frequency based upon test requirements, so as to rapidly and intuitively observe the required frequency range that allows users to experience the user interface of a real spectrum analyzer. While observing frequency domain display, engineers can observe waveform characteristics, which are not easily to be seen from time domain waveforms, for instance, the harmonic composition of a waveform and the frequency characteristics of a modulation signal.

The MDO-2302AG spectrum analyzer's frequency measurement range is from DC to 1GHz, which can meet the requirements of the low frequency test of audio and vibration. The general spectrum analyzer cannot measure the signals below 9kHz. The MDO-2302AG uses a BNC Cable to connect to the RF Signal Generator to obtain the maximum 1GHz signal frequency. Although the 1GHz signal has attenuated in the time domain, the input signal can still be obtained in the frequency domain.

The spectrum analyzer of the MDO-2302AG can automatically adjust to the most appropriate sample rate according to users' input frequency range. The required data for calculation is also from the same sampling. By the tremendous calculation efficiency of Zynq SoC, a large amount of calculation can be done in a very short period of time. Therefore, the MDO-2302AG can complete a spectrum faster than a conventional spectrum analyzer.

The MDO-2302AG's Spectrum Analyzer also includes Spectrum Trace Type settings (Normal, Max-hold, Min-hold, and Average). Users can freely select various Spectrum Traces for simultaneous display. Detection method (Sample, +Peak, -Peak, and Average) can be individually set for each Trace. Additionally, users, via Cursor, can manually mark the corresponding positions to reflect Frequency and Amplitude. The Search function can also be applied to log spectrum's Peak Table. Amplitude is displayed with dB and Marker can obtain measurement data.

Users can use the Search function to search and mark several amplitudes and frequencies. Search methods include Max. peak and threshold. Measurement results can be displayed and saved.

25 MHz Dual Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator

With respect to signal source, the MDO-2302AG features a built-in dual channel 25MHz arbitrary waveform generator with modulation capability and also provides 14 bits vertical resolution; sample rate of 200MSa/s; 13 output waveforms (Sine, Square, Pulse, Ramp, DC, Noise, Sinc, Gaussian, Lorentz, Exponential Rise, Exponential Fall, Haversine, Cardiac); and AM/FM/FSK modulation and sweep function. The user-friendly interface is the ideal choice for education and applications, such as circuit simulation tests. The arbitrary waveform generator provides users with 16k memory length. The arbitrary waveform can be edited through the PC software, and the edited arbitrary waveform(CSV file) can be recalled by the AWG function.
