MHz Oscilloscope Series: 10 MHz to 500 MHz Models

This page covers MHz oscilloscope series, focusing on models with bandwidths of 10 MHz, 50 MHz, 100 MHz, 200 MHz, and 500 MHz. We’ll explore offerings from reputable manufacturers like Keysight, Tektronix, Teledyne Lecroy, Yokogawa, and Rohde & Schwarz (R&S).

They are used for analyzing signals in the time domain and are available in a wide frequency range, from MHz to GHz (e.g., 10 MHz to 100 GHz). Here, we’ll focus on entry level MHz oscilloscopes.

Oscilloscopes with 10 MHz, 50 MHz, 100 MHz, 200 MHz, and 500 MHz bandwidths from various vendors cater to a wide range of applications, from basic circuit testing to high frequency signal analysis. Lower bandwidth models (10 to 50 MHz) are ideal for general purpose electronics troubleshooting, education and low speed signal analysis, while higher bandwidth models (100 to 500 MHz) are suited for advanced debugging, RF signal analysis and high speed digital circuit testing.
