In the process of debugging and validating both digital and RF designs, the oscilloscope Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function and a variety of other math functions can prove ...

Digital oscilloscopes have a great deal of flexibility built in, so derived measurements - like time constant - can be made with the existing measurement tools using a little creativity.

Additionally, since signal amplitude gradually rolls off to -3 dB at the oscilloscope’s rated bandwidth, RF measurements made anywhere near the rated bandwidth of the oscilloscope are attenuated ...
