Tektronix SD44

The SD-42, SD-43, SD-44 and SD-48 are optical-to-electrical (O/E) converters for use with the Tektronix CSA 803 and 11800 Series sampling oscilloscopes equipped with an SD-2x or SD-3x Electrical Sampling Head. The SD-42, SD-43, SD-44 and SD-48 Optical-to-Electrical Converters can be plugged directly into a 11800 sampling slot or CSA 803 power slot.

Optical signal input on the SD-42, SD-43, SD-44, and SD-48 is a standard FC/PC fiber optic connector. Other connector types can be accommodated by using optional hybrid fiber optic jumper cables (SD-42) or an assortment of hybrid mating adapters which are standard with the SD-43, SD-44 and 48. The SD-42 has an average power meter capability when used with a Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) which has selectable ranges of 1 V/mW and 1 V/µW.

The 11801C Digital Sampling Oscilloscope offers the widest range of on-board measurement and waveform processing capabilities of any multi-Gigahertz scope. With excellent measurement repeatability, exceptional vertical resolution, and fast display update rate, the 11801C is a powerful measurement tool for semiconductor testing, TDR characterization of circuit boards, IC packages and cables, and high-speed digital data communications.

The modular microprocessor-based architecture of the 11801C not only allows you to select the right configuration for your application, but also allows expandability to meet your future measurement needs. The 11801C accepts up to 4 dual-channel sampling heads and can be expanded through the SM-11 Multichannel Units to 136 channels.
