Tektronix CSA8200: RF Signal Analyzer

The Tektronix CSA8200 is a high-performance RF signal analyzer designed for advanced communication signal analysis, time-domain reflectometry (TDR), and serial data network analysis. It is part of the Tektronix family of sampling oscilloscopes and offers exceptional bandwidth, signal fidelity, and a modular architecture that supports a wide range of electrical and optical modules.

Key Features

• Ultra-Low Jitter Performance: The CSA8200, when combined with the 82A04 Phase Reference module, achieves ultra-low jitter floor measurements of less than 200 fs RMS. This is particularly useful for high-speed serial data analysis and compliance verification[1][3].
• Flexible Modular Architecture: The CSA8200 has 6 module slots, allowing it to accommodate a variety of modules including clock recovery, phase reference, and multiple acquisition modules. This flexibility supports a wide range of applications and future-proofing[3][4].
• High-Speed TDR: The CSA8200 offers true-differential TDR measurements up to 50 GHz bandwidth with 15 ps reflected rise time and 12 ps incident rise time, making it suitable for demanding Serial Data Network Analysis (SDNA) requirements[3].
• Advanced Analysis Capabilities: The CSA8200 provides over 100 automated measurements, including ITU/ANSI/IEEE mask testing, BER and eye contour estimation, and support for DDPWS. It also features FFE/DFE equalization and transmitter equalization[3].
• Optical Test Solutions: The CSA8200 supports complete optical test solutions with superior system fidelity from 125 Mb/s to 43 Gb/s and beyond, covering a range of wavelengths for both single- and multi-mode fibers[3].

Technical Specifications

• Bandwidth: Up to 50 GHz for TDR measurements, with optional bandwidths of 65 GHz or 30 GHz for optimal noise versus bandwidth performance[3][4].
• Clock Recovery: Supports clock recovery for a wide range of data rates, including non-standard and emerging rates, with continuous operating range from 2 GHz to 60 GHz (extendable to 110 GHz with sufficient clock amplitude)[1].
• Phase Reference Module: The 82A04 Phase Reference module provides phase-corrected timebase modes, including triggered phase reference mode for ultra-low jitter, entire-pattern waveforms[1].

Applications

• High-Speed Serial Data Analysis: Ideal for characterizing and verifying compliance of high-speed serial devices and signal paths.
• Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR): Suitable for TDR measurements up to 50 GHz bandwidth, supporting differential and single-ended electrical clock recovery.
• Optical Signal Analysis: Provides complete optical test solutions for a range of wavelengths and data rates.
