Choosing the right scope (Part 2)

In this document, Agilent Technologies Inc. recommends that a scope's maximum specified sample rate should be at least four to five times higher than the scope's specified real-time bandwidth. With this criterion, the scope's sin(x)/x waveform reconstruction filter can accurately repro锟絛uce the wave shape of higher speed signals with resolution in the tens of picoseconds range.
