Testing of telecom and datacom signals with a wide-bandwidth sampling oscilloscopes

The article will discuss main procedures and best practices for testing a wide-bandwidth signals by using USB sampling oscilloscopes. The article reviews the performance parameters that are used to specify the quality of the signals and networks, and examines how they can be effectively tested and assessed. All tests for both electrical and optical signals are made with the PicoScope 9200 USB sampling oscilloscopes.
