can i use mso6104A to accquire signal the frequency of which is higher than 1.5GHz but the bandwidth of which is less than 1GHz? if the sample rate of oscilloscope can set by user,can i use the waveform data accquired by oscilloscope to compute the spectrum of the sognal by bandpass sampling techniques?
the signal is aliased down from above 1.5GHz to within the 1GHz bandwidth
of the scope, our initial answer is correct. This will not work with the 6104 because
the scope is bandwidth limited. The frequency response of the scope is such that
the signal above 1GHz is being attenuated. Thus, there will be no signal to
alias down
