Why choose Agilent oscilloscopes for your toughest high-speed measurement
challenges?
As an engineer you’re no stranger to tough challenges that
help you exceed your customer’s needs and expectations.
Deploying your next design successfully is even more
difficult with today’s high speed technologies. Data signal
eye openings become smaller and measurement error from
your oscilloscope becomes less tolerable. Agilent is
committed to providing the best measurement solutions
for these critical challenges.

Engineered for unmatched real-time measurement accuracy.
Use your jitter budget in your design, not on your oscilloscope.
Agilent’s Infiniium 90000 Series oscilloscopes offer the industry’s lowest noise floor and most accurate real-time
jitter measurements available on scopes of this bandwidth class. Complete with full-bandwidth probing solutions and
hardwareaccelerated de-embedding and equalization techniques, Agilent oscilloscopes are the best oscilloscope solution
for today’s demanding high-speed measurements.
The industry’s deepest memory
With 1 Gbyte of memory, low-
frequency jitter components can be
more quickly resolved in a single
measurement. Statistical accuracy is
improved with more data collection.
Agilent’s integrated deep memory
remains responsive and allows more
comprehensive testing, supporting
pattern lengths up to PRBS23 for
accurate transmitter and receiver
results.
The industry’s lowest noise floor
Leveraging the company expertise in
RF design, Agilent has invested in key
technology blocks like our proprietary
Faraday caged front end to significantly
reduce our inherent scope noise floor.
The result: the lowest noise floor
available on any real-time oscilloscope
from 2.5 GHz to 12 GHz.
We add full bandwidth probing
and accurate de-embedding and
equalization software
The performance of Agilent’s
oscilloscopes is matched by the
superiority of our probing, de-embedding
and equalization offerings. Maintain full
bandwidth performance to the probe tip
with our InfiniiMax probing solutions.
