Yes, the analogue bandwidth of the front end is greater than 18MHz.

Yep. I've got one, if I put in a 22Mhz sine wave I see a perfect 18MHz sine wave on screen (as predicted).

You need to go up to maybe 28Mhz before you see much attenuation.

Those things are nice little gadgets but aliasing is a big problem even at "Arduino" frequencies.

Hi Bill,
If you inject a 1MHz square wave with a faster edge, you will see more of a difference.
The top trace is a Rigol sampling at 1GSa/s and there is no ripple.

The DSO154Pro is fine, but you may not be seeing a true representation of the signal.

You are seeing exactly what you should be seeing for a scope with 18MHz bandwidth.  Harmonics above 18MHz will begin to be attenuated.  Your image is showing good contributions from the first 16 or so harmonics.  That is 100% expected for an 18MHz scope.  I am willing to bet the other image comes from a scope with far greater bandwidth.  In this case it has nothing to do with sample rate.  Just bandwidth.
Dave_g8:
Hi Bill.
If you put a 1MHz square wave into a 20MHz analogue oscilloscope, you will not see the ripple as seen on the DSO154Pro.

Well, you will but it will be harder to see because of the response of an analog scope.

Here is an image of a square wave composed of the first 16 harmonics.  Does it look familliar?
