Author: EIS Release Date: Jun 15, 2022
Rohde & Schwarz has updated its 4 to 16GHz RTP oscilloscope range with a 13.3inch HD touchscreen and redesigned front panel.

“Improving overall usability so that test engineers could focus on the design problems at hand and not on operating the test equipment was paramount to our R&D engineers when we decided to update the R&S RTP,” said company oscilloscope president Andreas Werner.
According to the company, foot print remains the same – dimensions are 463 x 285 x 349mm with handles or 441 x 285 x 316mm with shock protection.
Amongst the scopes, a maximum sample rate of 40Gsample/s can be found, built around the company’s acquisition and processing asic which can work up to an acquisition rate of 750,000waveform/s. Standard acquisition memory is now 100Mpoint/channel, upgradeable to 3Gpoint/channel.
Hardware implemented 16Gbit/s clock data recovery is provided for long-term real-time serial interface eye diagram monitoring, and new options, RTP-K136 and K137, support data eye analysis of sequential bits in an acquired data stream up to 8 and 16Gbit/s – timing for bit slicing relies on continuous clock data recovery. “This has significant advantages relative to traditional post-processing with a software-based clock data recovery, claimed the company. “Users can combine this function with the real-time deembedding and real-time differential math functions of the RTP to complete debugging or searches for signal faults.”
New features include the RTP-K39 user-defined maths option, allowing a Python script to be recalled for complex calculations, and to display the results as a maths signal on the oscilloscope, as well as a set of compliance test that work with the company’s ScopeSuite test framework:
- RTP-K27 MIPI D-PHY V2.1/2.5
- RTP-K28 MIPI C-PHY V2.1
- RTP-K102 USB 3.2 Gen 1 & 2 RX
