IQScope Complex Modulation Analyzer

The IQScope works with readily available sampling oscilloscopes, providing an affordable solution to highspeed complex modulation analysis. The IQScope takes advantage of the high bandwith of sampling oscilloscopes, enabling measurement of up to 800 Gbit/s.

Supported modulation formats

BPSK, DPSK, QPKS, DQPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, DP-BPSK, DP-DPSK, DP-QPSK, DP-QPSK, DP-16QAM, DP-32QAM and more


Applications

Modulator testing, R&D testing of transmitters, chirp testing and more


Visualizations

Constellation diagrams, vector diagrams I&Q diagrams, Intensity versus time, phase versus time, I&Q versus time and more


Measurement capabilities

Error vector magnitude, phase error, IQ phase error, IQ gain imbalance, IQ skew, Signal-to-noise ratio and more
