Oscilloscope Days 2022

Day 1 – Wednesday, 27.04.2022

Morning

Introduction & Keynote
15 minutes

Oscilloscope & Probing fundamentals – Best practices for oscilloscope and probe selection
75 minutes, Speakers from Rohde & Schwarz

• Which building blocks are included in an oscilloscope?
• How do parameters like sample rate, ENOB, memory depth, vertical scale, and noise affect my displayed signal?
• How does my probe influence my signal and why?
• How shall I choose my matching oscilloscope and probe for a certain application?

Afternoon

Which RF effects need to be considered in the measurement and design of wide-bandgap semiconductor based power systems?
90 minutes, Speakers from Rohde & Schwarz, PE Systems and Würth Elektronik

• How to stabilize your gate supply for GaN and SiC?
• How to filter your GaN based power supply?
• How to optimize the measurement setup incl. probing for determining the switching behavior?
• How to reduce effort and errors through process automation?

Day 2 – Thursday, 28.04.2022

Morning

What Jitter separation could do for you?
90 minutes, Speakers from Rohde & Schwarz and Würth Elektronik

• What is Jitter?
• Why is Jitter and Noise separation getting more important in todays electronic designs?
• What causes Jitter?
• Which insights could the “Signal Model Based Jitter Separation” give to me?
• How is signal integrity affected by filter elements such as common mode chokes, power integrity and unbalances in the board design?

Afternoon

EMC fault finding: Why is an oscilloscope a good choice?
90 minutes, Speakers from Rohde & Schwarz and Würth Elektronik

• Why and when to use an EMI receiver, Spectrum Analyzer or Oscilloscope?
• How to validate my EMI filter design at the actual DUT?
• What does Common-Mode and Differential-Mode Filter Design mean?
• How to identify the “hotspots” and root causes for EMI issues on my design?
