LeCroy LabMaster 9 Zi-A oscilloscope now offers 36 GHz bandwidth on 4 to 10 channels

CHESTNUT RIDGE, USA: LeCroy Corp. announced that the innovative LabMaster 9 Zi-A Modular Oscilloscope System now provides higher bandwidth at the same channel density with the addition of a 36 GHz Acquisition Module.

The new 36 GHz capability--20 percent more than previously offered by LeCroy at this channel density--keeps LeCroy at the forefront of customer needs by providing the most four-channel bandwidth in this class. In addition, LabMaster 9 Zi-A has significant other technical and performance advantages.

The higher bandwidth is desired by customers performing optical coherent modulation analysis at data rates of 28+ GBaud (112+ Gb/s) or for 10 to 28 Gb/s electrical non-return to zero (NRZ) serial data testing. Development and installation of systems utilizing these data rates is being driven by trends in cloud computing and mobile device communication that are requiring more optical backhaul transmission bandwidth. The IEEE 802.3ba standard and Optical Internetwork Forum (OIF) recommendations for 100 GbE are the technical drivers in these areas.

The new Acquisition Module can be configured in a LabMaster 9 Zi-A system to provide up to 10 channels at 36 GHz with 80 GS/s and 20 channels at 20 GHz with 40 GS/s, with analysis memory up to 512 Mpts/Ch. It is also backwards-compatible with previously purchased LabMaster 9 Zi-A "Master" Acquisition Modules. In addition, customers needing even more bandwidth than 36 GHz can purchase LabMaster 9 Zi-A Modular Oscilloscope Systems that provide up to five channels at 45 GHz with 120 GS/s.
