The
winners were announced at an awards ceremony on Tuesday, March 27 at The
Fairmont San Jose, during DESIGN West,
a new UBM Electronics conference and expo building on ESC West.
"The
EE Times and EDN ACE Awards are among the most highly valued and sought after
recognitions in the electronics industry, so winning this award demonstrates
the level of breakthrough innovation we've achieve with the MDO4000," said
Roy Siegel, general manager, Oscilloscopes at Tektronix. "As the world
embraces more and more wireless in all type of systems, we recognized that
engineers needed a better tool for solving complicated design issues quickly
and efficiently. With its unique ability to span time and frequency domains
simultaneously, the MDO4000 is that tool."
Introduced
on August 30, 2011, the MDO4000 Series is tailored to meet the needs of the
more than 60 percent of oscilloscope users who also use a spectrum analyzer to
troubleshoot embedded designs with wireless functionality. As the first
oscilloscope ever to integrate the functionality of a spectrum analyzer, the
MDO4000 provides a powerful toolset which can save days or even weeks of debug
time.
With
the MDO4000, engineers can replace both a scope and spectrum analyzer with a
single instrument. This enables them to continue using their tool of choice,
the oscilloscope, to look at the frequency domain rather than having to find and
relearn a spectrum analyzer. For debugging, it goes well beyond typical
spectrum analyzer functionality by allowing users to capture time-correlated
analog, digital and RF signals across 4 analog, 16 digital and 1 RF channel.
With separate instruments, it is virtually impossible to accurately correlate
signals across domains. This enables a new realm of testing, simplifying common
debug tasks for today's integrated wireless-enabled designs. For instance, now
engineers can easily measure how long it takes their RF power amplifier to
turn-on after a command is sent on the device's serial bus.
"It
was a challenge for our judges to select one winner in each category from all
of the creative and innovative technologies represented by the finalists,"
said Junko Yoshida, Editor in Chief, EE Times, UBM Electronics. "The
winners have proven that they are pioneers in developing and implementing
breakthroughs in electronics. We hope this awards program gives companies
worldwide the impetus to stretch their imaginations and their resources for
even more progress in the coming year."
