SUPERIOR RF MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY
Many engineers who develop products need to debug-in-test both in the time and frequency domain. The designers of the R&S MXO 4 were very cautious to keep spectrum analysis in mind to bring forward fast and powerful analysis capabilities. The instrument is the first oscilloscope ever to achieve 45 000 FFTs (Fast Fourier Transfers) per second, while comparable oscilloscopes deliver less than 10 FFTs per second. This allows capture of spurious spectrum events, especially when performing EMI debug, fast and easy (Fig 5).

MXO 4 has been made simple by entering common parameters such as center frequency, span or resolution bandwidth (RBW). These settings are independent of the time domain settings, however still time-correlated. A variety of additional functions and measurements are included to make it easier to plot and gain quick insights from the spectrum.
The pristine RF characteristics of the R&S MXO 4 balances great spectrum performance with the synchronised time domain view. This capability is included in the base instrument, allowing engineers better visibility of RF signals than with any other oscilloscope in its class.

HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE USER EXPERIENCE Using an oscilloscope is a visual experience and users spend significant time viewing the instrument’s display. The R&S MXO 4 Series incorporate a 13.3” full-HD capacitive touchscreen featuring gesture support and an intuitive user interface (UI).
