Pocket-Sized 6 GHz 1 TS/s ET Scope
SJL-Instruments:
Hope this is allowed here - we'll keep it brief.
We're a small US company that has developed a series of 6 GHz USB sampling oscilloscopes.
Our main goal is to offer access to the picosecond regime (>= 1TS/s ET) at a competitive price (~$2k USD $1500 with hobbyist discount).
Headline features:
- 1 ps time resolution (1 TS/s ET sampling.) Most units achieve ~0.3 ps reproducibly.
- 12-bit vertical resolution, 40 ps rise time
- Edge trigger on channel (rising/falling edge with adjustable level, full bandwidth).
- Pocket-sized, powered over USB C. About the size and weight of a phone.
- Excellent build quality - body is machined aluminum 6061. We are right-to-repair friendly.
- Large portion of manufacturing done in-house (USA) - board-level assembly, laser engraving, even the packaging!
We understand this is a very niche instrument - but we hope we struck a good balance of price and capability within this niche. Curious to hear your feedback (good or bad)!

Update 2024-06-15: We are now partnering with Lasmux Devices for an active probing solution. You can receive $300 off any GigaWave scope upon purchase of a Lasmux Devices 2.7 GHz active probe. Note that the probe itself is priced below $300.

Update 2024-08-04: All international orders (outside the USA) come with free express shipping and all duties/taxes/VAT paid by us. The list price is the total cost to you.
nctnico:
Any datasheet available?
How many channels does it have? What is the trigger jitter like? What is the realtime samplerate?
SJL-Instruments:
Section 1 of the User Manual has all the specs you'd find in a datasheet: https://www.sjl-instruments.com/user-manual.pdf
2-, 4- and 8- channel models are available. (The 8-channel model has a 4-6 week lead time, others ship for free next business day.)
Intrinsic trigger jitter is ~4 ps. Due to the RMS jitter of the delay generator, the effective trigger jitter increases with sqrt(T). User manual Section 2.3 has the formula.
(See also the upper right plot on the calibration sheet: https://www.sjl-instruments.com/sample-calibration.pdf)
Realtime trigger rate is 25 Mtrig/s. This is limited only by the minimum holdoff (40 ns). Note that this is not equivalent to the "sample rate," as the scope uses a rather unique architecture (see Section 2.1 of User Manual).
TheSteve:
Please consider sending one to Shahriar at TheSignalPath if he is willing to perform a review.
SJL-Instruments:
Yep, we already sent one to Shahriar :)
Understandably, he has a long backlog to get through, so the video may not be out for a while.
