The Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series is a real time oscilloscope with 32 GHz of true analog bandwidth, and features the
industry’s lowest noise floor, lowest jitter measurement floor and flattest frequency response.
This combination of performance results in a
real time oscilloscope with industry leading accuracy. In addition, the 90000 X-Series comes
with a complete lineup of probes and accessories rated to 30 GHz (see Figure 1) and a
comprehensive set of measurement specific
software. The complete combination of hardware performance, probing and software allows any designer and debugger to complete
their tasks faster and to specify
tighter specifications with their
devices, ultimately leading to
greater profitability for their
company.
The Infiniium 90000 X-Series is the first Agilent equipment to take advantage of a new
transistor technology developed
internally by Agilent using Indium Phosphide (InP) double
hetero-junction bipolar transistor (DHBT) technology. The
InP technology extends the ca- s Fig. 1 The industry’s first 30 GHz probing system.
pabilities of well established InGaP/GaAs HBT
IC technology, enabling oscilloscope performance up to 32 GHz without sacrificing the reliability and manufacturability associated with
GaAs bipolar devices. The InP-based process
provides cut-off frequency to 200 GHz. While
InP is rarely mass produced as it is difficult to
achieve excellent economies of scale, it is ideal
for test and measurement equipment, which
need thousands of chips as opposed to millions.
In addition to the InP-based process, the
company achieved the unprecedented performance using proprietary advanced thick film
microcircuit processes and design techniques,
known internally as Quick Film 3D Microcircuits. Unlike traditional thick film dielectrics,
the Quick Film dielectrics are characterized
by very good broadband electrical properties
that are stable through microwave frequencies.
These microcircuits are used to package the
90000 X-Series and InfiniiMax III InP chipsets
and optimize their outstanding pulse fidelity,
low jitter and flat broadband response. Using
the quick film technology, Agilent has developed its new multi chip module (MCM). This
