Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today introduced an enhanced bandwidth (EBW EBW Electron Beam Welding EBW Electron Bernstein Wave EBW Exploding Bridgewire EBW Extreme Backyard Wrestling EBW Electron Beam Welder EBW Everybody Wins EBW Entropy Based Warfare EBW Equivalent Bandwidth EBW Evil, Bad, and Wrong EBW Evil Beyond Words ) option for the Agilent Infiniium 54855A 6 GHz oscilloscope oscilloscope (əsĭl`əskōp'), electronic device used to produce visual displays corresponding to electrical signals. Displays of such nonelectrical phenomena as the variations of a sound's intensity can be made if the phenomena are that allows engineers to increase the oscilloscope bandwidth to 7 GHz. When combined with the Agilent 1134A InfiniiMax probe amplifier and E2677A solder-in differential probe head, the system is the industry's first to enable real-time, high-impedance 7 GHz measurements. The ability to make high-impedance measurements and probe multiple locations on a device under test is required for system debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. , characterization and optimization of new high-speed digital product designs in the computer, communications and semiconductor industries. The EBW option also allows engineers to reduce overall measurement system noise by lowering the oscilloscope's bandwidth for improved accuracy and repeatability. Agilent's proprietary digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). techniques allow engineers to take advantage of the fundamental trade-off between bandwidth and system noise to optimize the measurement capability of the oscilloscope for specific measurements. Until now, engineers performing frequency domain analysis or measuring signals with low signal amplitudes had no simple method to reduce noise levels for a given bandwidth, single-event signal. "Agilent remains committed to meeting the increasing performance needs of high-speed electronic designers," said Ron Nersesian, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Design Validation Division. "With innovations such as the ability to adjust bandwidth to optimize measurement capabilities and speeds up to 7 GHz, the Agilent InfiniiMax probing system continues to offer the highest performance and most usable configurations of any probe system in the market." The high-bandwidth, Agilent InfiniiMax 1134A active probe amplifier with a differential solder-in probe head can match the 7 GHz capability of the new EBW option by providing a typical measurement bandwidth of 7 GHz to the solder-in probe tip. These flexible probe tips can be re-soldered from location to location, or multiple probe tips can be used on a single device under test.
