DESCRIPTION:
The Rohde & Schwarz RTH1052 represents the highest bandwidth two-channel model within the RTH Scope Rider family, delivering 500 MHz performance while maintaining the portability, safety, and ruggedness required for field operation. Designed for engineers and technicians working with high-speed electronics, communications systems, industrial automation, power electronics, and advanced troubleshooting applications, the instrument combines laboratory-grade oscilloscope performance with true handheld mobility.
The oscilloscope features two fully isolated input channels that enable safe floating measurements on power converters, motor drives, renewable energy systems, industrial control equipment, communications infrastructure, and electrical installations. The galvanically isolated channel architecture eliminates many of the grounding limitations associated with conventional oscilloscopes while improving operator safety and measurement flexibility.
With 500 MHz bandwidth, up to 5 GSa/s real-time sampling, and 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion, the RTH1052 is well suited for analysing high-speed digital signals, switching waveforms, communications interfaces, embedded systems, transient events, and fast electronic phenomena. Deep memory acquisition and high waveform capture rates help engineers identify intermittent faults, startup events, and signal integrity issues that may otherwise be difficult to detect.
The instrument incorporates a bright 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display supported by dedicated hardware controls for efficient operation in laboratory, workshop, and field environments. Battery-powered operation allows measurements to be performed where mains power is unavailable, while the rugged IP51-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and splashing water in industrial applications.
The two-channel RTH platform includes an integrated isolated digital multimeter and can be expanded with protocol triggering and decoding, mixed-signal analysis, logic channels, spectrum analysis, harmonic analysis, advanced triggering functions, long-term data logging, and wireless connectivity options. This flexibility allows the RTH1052 to function as a comprehensive portable diagnostic platform.
With CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V safety ratings, the RTH1052 is designed for demanding industrial and electrical environments where measurement safety and performance are equally important.
