Keysight 86100D Infiniium DCA-X Digital Communication Analyzer Mainframe, Modules TDR/TDT and 70GHz RF Oscilloscope

The Keysight DCA-X mainframe from the CMC test equipment pool is part of a modular system for the analysis of time domain broadband signals up to 70 GHz. 86100D DCA-X mainframe can be configured by selecting from a variety of plug-in modules that perform precision optical, electrical, and TDR/TDT measurements.

The mainframe comes with module 86118A (Dual 70GHz RF Heads) and module 54754A (for TDR/TDT measurements).
