Called the Infiniium UXR-Series, it is is aimed at designers of high-speed serial links and electro-optical interfaces – for example DDR, USB, PCIe, PAM4, 5G comms, radar and satellite communications.

The crucial front-end chips are made on the firm’s in-house 350GHz indium phosphide process – in total six new chips have been created for the UXR scopes, Keysight’s head of oscilloscopes Brig Asay told Electronics Weekly. “There is a lot of technology and a whole bunch of packaging, all there to protect the signal and keep it pristine,” he said.
