LeCroy WS3162 and HDO4024 Bugs
Exposing some bugs on LeCroy’s new WaveStation 3162 and the HDO4024 oscilloscope. Bug 1 (WS3162): When modulation is applied to a channel, the amplitude drops below the set value. Bug 2 (WS3162): Phase control dysfunctional on both channels when modulation is applied to either one channel. Bug 3 (HDO4024): Spectrum calculation locks up and slows […]

VOR NAV Receiver Testing
This video shows how to generate a complex test signal to emulate a ground based radio navigation system for aircraft (VOR). The generated signal can then be used to verify the accuracy of navigational receivers intended to be used with a VOR. Used in this video: LeCroy WS3162, LeCroy HDO4024 and Yaesu FTA-720

12-bit vs. 8-bit – What’s the difference?
Teledyne LeCroy and Agilent offer brand new 12-bit oscilloscopes and promise clearer, crisper waveform displays than an 8-bit oscilloscope can deliver. But what does it really mean for a real world application to have 12 instead of 8-bit resolution? I have no idea if that was just my perception or if the year 2012 was […]

Review: Teledyne LeCroy WaveStation 2052 – Arbitrary Waveform Generator
After having a look at a Teledyne LeCroy WaveAce series oscilloscope recently, it’s time to have a look at the entry-level WaveStation family of arbitrary waveform generators. The WaveStation generators and the WaveAce oscilloscopes are designed to be capable of working hand-in-hand. The Teledyne LeCroy WaveStation 2052 is a 50 MHz, 2-channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator […]

Closer look at a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signal
This article is going to take a closer look at the properties of a pseudo random bit sequence and a simple direct sequence spread spectrum signal both in the time- and frequency domain using the FFT capabilities of a Teledyne LeCroy WaveAce 1002. A while back, I posted an article about a Pseudorandom Number Generator […]
