• A full-function oscilloscope with bandwidth in excess of 80 GHz, ensuring the most accurate waveform measurements
• A digital communications analyzer with automated eye diagram analysis for transmitter compliance testing
• The industry's most accurate jitter and interference analyzer, measuring subcomponent jitter sources with one-button ease of use
• A full-function time domain reflectometer (TDR/TDT) for high precision impedance and S-parameter analysis

Advanced Jitter Analysis

• Decomposition of jitter into Total Jitter (TJ), Random Jitter (RJ), Deterministic Jitter (DJ), Periodic Jitter (PJ), Data Dependent Jitter (DDJ), Duty Cycle Distortion (DCD), and Jitter induced by Intersymbol Interference (ISI)
• Jitter frequency spectrum
• Isolation and analysis of Sub-Rate Jitter (SRJ), that is, periodic jitter that is at an integer sub-rate of the bitrate
• Jitter spectrum/phase noise for both clock or data signals (requires 83496B Clock Recovery)
• Decomposition of interference into Total Interference (TI), Random Noise (RN), Deterministic Interference, Periodic Interference (PI), and Inter-symbol Interference (ISI)

Advanced Amplitude Analysis

• Tabular and graphical results for both one and zero levels
• Interference frequency spectrum
• Q-factor (isolated from deterministic interference)
• Relative Intensity Noise (RIN 1 Level, RIN OMA)

Advanced Waveform Analysis

• Capture of long single valued waveforms. Pattern Lock triggering and the waveform append capability of Option 201 enable very accurate capture of pulse train data sets up to 2²³ bits long
• Equalization - the DCA-J can take a long single valued waveform and route it through an equalizer algorithm (default or user defined up to 15 taps) and display the resultant equalized waveform in real time. The user can simultaneously view the input (distorted) and output (equalized) waveforms
• Interface to MATLAB® analysis capability. Display waveforms processed through virtual functions described with MATLAB® scripts.

Advanced TDR Analysis (Frequency-Domain S-Parameters)

• On-board S-parameters for differential or single-ended characterization
• One port or two port devices (single-ended or differential)
• Measure to current and new standards
