The Rohde & Schwarz RTP084 is a 4-channel digital oscilloscope engineered for high-frequency signal analysis in automotive, aerospace, defense, and signal integrity applications. This 8 GHz instrument delivers real-time acquisition at up to 40 GSa/s with maximum memory of 2 Gsample, enabling capture and analysis of complex transient and serial data events. The RTP084 combines precision triggering, jitter decomposition, and optional mixed-signal capability with an intuitive 13.3″ Full HD touchscreen interface.
