The Agilent/Keysight 86100B Infiniium DCA is a modular digital communications analyzer and wide-bandwidth sampling oscilloscope for high-speed signal characterization. It delivers three instrument modes in one platform: DCA for eye-diagram analysis and compliance testing, oscilloscope capability with bandwidth exceeding 65 GHz optical and up to 80 GHz electrical, and time-domain reflectometry for S-parameter and impedance analysis. The instrument supports signal rates from 100 Mb/s to 40 Gb/s and beyond, with configurable plug-in modules for optical and electrical measurements. Its Windows-based interface streamlines operation across eye measurements, jitter decomposition, extinction ratio analysis, and automated mask testing.
