Need bandwidth?
When you’re deploying leading edge high-speed serial bus
designs like FibreChannel, SAS 12 G, or 10 Gb Ethernet
KR, jitter matters and picoseconds count. When you’re
doing spectral analysis of wide-bandwidth RF signals or
investigating transient phenomena, bandwidth is critical.
You need the most accurate real-time oscilloscope you can
get. Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series scopes are engineered
for 33 GHz true analog bandwidth that delivers:
• The industry’s highest real-time scope measurement
accuracy
• The industry’s only 30 GHz oscilloscope probing system
• The industry’s most comprehensive application-specific
measurement software
33 GHz true analog bandwidth
The quest for higher real-time scope bandwidth involves
pushing against the physical limitations of state-of-theart integrated circuit technology. We define true analog
bandwidth as performance achieved directly through the
hardware of the real-time oscilloscope, and we’ve achieved
breakthrough performance of 33 GHz with the Infiniium
90000 X-Series. Other vendors, limited to 16 GHz hardware,
employ various techniques to boost the bandwidth
specification of their scopes. However, these methods
introduce noise and distortions that negatively impact
measurements.
Custom front end technology requiring over five years of design
effort yields the fastest real-time oscilloscope hardware available
today.
With the Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes,
you get the unmatched combination of the world’s fastest
real-time oscilloscope and the best measurement accuracy.

Engineered for 33 GHz true analog bandwidth that delivers:
The industry’s highest real-time scope measurement
accuracy.
When you’re designing with faster signals, shrinking eyes
and tighter jitter budgets mean that error introduced by
your oscilloscope can seriously impact your measurement
results. The Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series scopes deliver
the highest measurement accuracy available by offering the
following industry-leading characteristics:
• Highest true analog bandwidth (33 GHz)
• Lowest oscilloscope noise floor (2.25 mV at 50 mV/div,
33 GHz)
• Lowest jitter measurement floor (150 fs)
Having the highest analog bandwidth, and lowest noise floor
available means better spectral analysis of transients and
wide-bandwidth RF signals.
Industry’s first and only 30 GHz oscilloscope probing
system.
No matter how good your scope is, if your probes can’t
operate at sufficient bandwidths your measurements are
compromised. The Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series scopes

Engineered for 33 GHz true analog bandwidth that delivers:
The highest real-time scope measurement accuracy
Whether you’re deploying emerging high speed bus
technology, identifying spectral content of wide-bandwidth
RF signals, or analyzing transient physical phenomena, you
need the truest representation of your signals under test.
Agilent invested in leading edge technology to bring you
the highest real-time oscilloscope measurement accuracy
available today.
New custom integrated circuits using a proprietary Indium
Phosphide (InP) process and breakthrough packaging
technology enable industry-leading performance, including
the:
• Highest true analog bandwidth
• Lowest oscilloscope noise floor
• Lowest oscilloscope jitter measurement floor
Highest true-analog bandwidth- 33 GHz
The engineering of a high-performance real-time oscilloscope
front end requires designing pre-amplifiers, triggering
capability, and sampling technology. But putting it all together
might be the toughest challenge. Using fine line microcircuit
processes and relying extensively on years of experience with
RF design, Agilent developed the front end multi-chip modules
shown here for the Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes.
Packaging technology provides excellent high-frequency
electrical properties along with superior heat dissipation. It
enables the highest true analog bandwidth available today in
real-time oscilloscopes.
Industry’s lowest noise floor.
One of the keys to measurement accuracy at high
bandwidths is minimizing the noise generated by the
oscilloscope itself. Agilent utilizes a proprietary Indium
Phosphide (InP) integrated circuit process in the design of
the Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes because other
oscilloscope techniques just can’t deliver the necessary
combination of high-bandwidth and low noise. Not only
does that mean you’re purchasing the best tool today,
but it also means you can count on technology leadership
from Agilent in the future.

Engineered for 33 GHz true analog bandwidth that delivers:
The highest real-time scope measurement accuracy
Industry’s lowest real-time oscilloscope jitter
measurement floor
Oscilloscope bandwidth allows signal rise times to be
more accurately depicted. The oscilloscope noise floor
directly impacts the y-axis voltage placement of each signal
data point. The Infiniium 90000 X-Series scopes combine
superiority in these characteristics with extremely low
sample clock jitter (< 150 femptoseconds). This ensures the
lowest possible contribution to jitter measurements from
the scope itself so you’re using your jitter budget on your
design.
In addition to its low jitter measurement floor, the 90000
X-Series has the industry’s deepest memory with up
to 2 Gpts, allowing you to resolve low frequency jitter
components in a single measurement.
Jitter measurement floor of less than 150 fs
How much better is our jitter measurement?
We made measurements on multiple sine waves from
an Agilent signal generator. We compared the Agilent
Infiniium 90000 X-Series scope to DSP boosted
oscilloscopes from our competitor.
The results show that the 90000 X-Series consistently makes
significantly (up to 10x) lower jitter measurements than its competitor.
