10-bit ADC with up to 16-bit resolution
Unrivaled signal Rohde & Schwarz engineered a proprietary 10-bit A/D con- verter that delivers a fourfold improvement over conven- tional 8-bit A/D converters. integrity The increased resolution results in sharper waveforms with more signal details that would otherwise be missed. One example is the characterization of switched-mode power supplies. The voltages across the switching device must 10-bit ADC: 1024 levels, 4 times more be determined during the on/off times within the same ac- than 8-bit ADC quisition. For precise measurements of small voltage com- ponents, a high resolution of more than 8 bit is essential. 0.6 % noise: at 1 mV/div, 200 MHz, With high resolution decimation, the R&S®RTA4000 even provides up to 16-bit vertical resolution, a resolution previ- 50 Ω; % of full scale ously unseen in this class of instrument. 500 µV/div: full bandwidth,

no software magnification The R&S®RTA4000 oscilloscope offers outstanding sen- sitivity down to 500 µV/div. Traditional oscilloscopes can only reach this level of input sensitivity by employing soft- ware-based magnification of larger settings or by limiting the bandwidth. The R&S®RTA4000 oscilloscope shows the signal’s real sampling points over the full measurement bandwidth – even at 500 µV/div.
Class-leading low noise
Higher resolution is only beneficial if the extra bits are not consumed by the noise of the oscilloscope. The R&S®RTA4000 has class-leading low noise that allows you to take advantage of the extra bits of resolution and see signals that are hidden in the noise of other oscilloscopes. The Rohde & Schwarz designed 10-bit A/D converter ensures highest signal fidelity at the highest resolution.
