DESCRIPTION:

The Rohde & Schwarz RTM3002 is the highest-bandwidth two-channel model within the RTM3000 family, delivering 1 GHz bandwidth while incorporating Rohde & Schwarz's "Power of Ten" architecture. The platform combines a custom 10-bit analog-to-digital converter, deep acquisition memory, high sampling rates, advanced triggering functions, and a large touchscreen display to create a powerful troubleshooting and development instrument for modern electronic systems.

A defining characteristic of the RTM3000 architecture is its custom-designed 10-bit ADC. Compared with conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes, the RTM3002 delivers four times the vertical resolution, allowing engineers to identify subtle signal anomalies, power integrity issues, switching ripple, transient disturbances, and low-level noise components that may otherwise remain hidden.

The oscilloscope supports real-time sampling rates up to 5 GSa/s and provides standard memory depths of 40 Mpoints per channel, extending to 80 Mpoints in interleaved operation. This deep memory architecture enables long-duration captures while maintaining high timing resolution, making the RTM3002 particularly effective for analysing high-speed serial buses, RF-related signals, communications systems, embedded processors, switching power supplies, and complex transient events.

The RTM3002 incorporates a comprehensive suite of measurement and analysis tools including FFT spectrum analysis, digital voltmeter functionality, frequency counter measurements, mask testing, advanced triggering, mathematical waveform processing, automated measurements, and search functions. Optional software packages extend capability with protocol triggering and decoding, power analysis, frequency response analysis, spectrum analysis, arbitrary waveform generation, and segmented memory acquisition.

For high-speed digital design and communications applications, the 1 GHz bandwidth enables accurate analysis of fast edge rates, clock systems, serial interfaces, signal integrity issues, and transient events. The instrument is equally suited to advanced laboratory development, manufacturing diagnostics, service engineering, and validation environments where detailed signal visibility is critical.

The large 10.1-inch WXGA capacitive touchscreen display provides excellent visibility for waveform analysis, FFT measurements, protocol decodes, and automated measurement results. Combined with a fast boot time and Rohde & Schwarz probe interface technology, the RTM3002 delivers an efficient workflow for demanding engineering applications.
