Introduction to DSP Laboratory Equipment
Several pieces of test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes,
signal generators, and signal analyzers have been used in the laboratories
covered in this topic. While we have restricted the equipment discussion to
specific models that are available in our DSP lab at CSUS, there exist several
alternative models that would be equally useful for these applications. This
appendix discusses alternative equipment, either from the same manufacturer,
or from other manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. The follow-
ing sections list comparative information on the following types of equipment:
•
Digitizing oscilloscopes
•
Synthesized signal generators
•
Dynamic signal analyzers
•
Spectrum analyzers

Digitizing Oscilloscopes
The oscilloscope model that is used in this topic, for laboratory exercises, is
the HP54501A 100 MHz digitizing oscilloscope. However, other models from
HP-Agilent

are listed in
Table F.1
and from Tektronix in
Table 4.2
