IC Validation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees

The Pulse Pattern Generator and Error Detector are co-located, making it easier to use. However, I would like a better GUI.

Take a look and do some demos. It will help you decide whether to go with this equipment or not. It took us about a week to become acclimated to the solution. We are not using this product to support connected devices, e.g., IoT development, nor are we planning to going forward.

Brandon Jiao

Staff Transceiver Engineer at Xilinx, Inc.

With this machine, it's easier for us to debug or clarify where the noise source could be because of its accuracy

For the RF application, we care much about the crosstalk on our device and PCBs. Generally, what we can do with the other vendor's product is four-port measurement. It's a bit complicated for us and time consuming to combine all the crosstalk measurement together in a unified model. However, with this VNA, it is much easier because of its eight ports configuration. It's very stable because everything is done at the same time. This means within the test condition environment, everything is the same. This has increased accuracy and dramatically saved a lot of our time. We can do more experiments with this product than using other VNAs which have less ports.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."

"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme, and we use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation, and it's also quick and easy to use."

"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."

"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."

"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."

"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."

"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."

"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."

More Anritsu Oscilloscopes pros

"The most valuable features are the accuracy and repeatability."

"The most valuable features are its wide bandwidth and 8 ports."

"The product is quite reliable and straightforward to use. Typically, there are no households that we have to set up."

"Since I spend quite some time in the lab, this product makes my life easier, results better, and speeds up my work."

"It has a very low noise floor."

"The noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot."

"I have been able to do quality measurements that I have been unable to achieve with the equipment from some other vendors."

Cons

"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."

"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."

"The user interface is somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."

"Sometimes, the forms keep changing because of new product technology. If they could reduce the amount of change in the form, this would be good."

"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."

"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed. Electronics are moving forward to higher speeds, so it's better to have higher frequencies."

"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed."

"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved; it's not quite stable and restarts a lot."

More Anritsu Oscilloscopes cons

"User interface is okay. I would probably rate it a seven out of ten."

"Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."

"I'm against the Windows-based tools. Now everybody is running scopes, VNAs, and all their tools based on Windows. I don't want to see that in the future."

"We would like to have autotracking and auto error tracking for regression testing. We would like to know what error happened, when it happened, and during what scenario (such as setup), because right now we have to manually look at when it happened."

"It would be good if they would try to automate most things because it has more pressing buttons and repetitive work."

"The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller."

"The depth the the user GUI could be improved. It is a bit deep for new users. During the first two weeks we spent a lot of time finding the tabs."

"The user interface of this solution is not that intuitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."

"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."

"The pricing is costly."

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."

"It's very expensive equipment and cannot be upgraded after five years. If you buy equipment today, in five years, it won't be upgradeable. You have to upgrade it within the first five years that you buy it."

"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."

"If we are looking to purchase a product, we ask for a loaner for a month or so to test it out. Then, we will make a decision."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"The pricing is too high."

"The pricing is way too expensive."

"Buying Rohde & Schwarz gear is like buying a Mercedes. It raises eyebrows when you're asking for that level of performance."

"The pricing is very competitive."

"When we chose this, the price was really reasonable, and it is a high-end product. It had a high price, but we understood that because it has 8 port, the same noise floor (as the competition) with double the measurement capabilities and a cheaper price."

"One of the things I liked less, not only me but also my company, was that Rohde & Schwarz are very expensive... There are solutions that are almost the same that sell at better prices."
