SDS800X HD Actual Use Cases
mawyatt:
Here's a few uses with the Bode plot showing filters.
These are interesting RC filters that exhibit a "greater than unity gain" yet have no inductors, nor transformers, transmission lines, switches, non-linear elements, or active devices, just a couple resistors and a couple capacitors.
One is a Low Pass and the other a High Pass, and both show ~0.66dBV gain. Probably not much use but interesting anyway, analysis left up to the reader :-+
Included some LTspice Sims for reference.
BTW a single JFET also exhibits a Passive Voltage Gain without any additional components, nor power supply!!
Gotta love this little SDS800, puts a grin on our face every time we use it :)
Will add more later if folks are interested.

I wonder if you can't make PDN measurements with it? I tried using the NanoVNA and get ok-ish results. Do they support anything like this native?
mawyatt:
Would expect so, as it's already been shown how to make Impedance and Admittance measurements utilizing the Bode Function.
One could use a current probe for the current measurement for V/I or I/V plots, but also a simple small sense resistor works. The 12 bit resolution, low noise, and large dynamic range (range scaling) come into play here.
If Siglent makes a firmware update that allows the math channels to be part of the Bode Function, then this opens up a lot for direct use cases without need for additional support probes/components/equipment.
As we noted on numerous occasions, contrary to some naysayers, this Bode Function is extremely useful in the hands of knowledgable users :-+

Here's a couple plots of the classic passive Twin T Filter, just a few resistors and capacitors for a ~47dB notch :-+
Fun stuff indeed :)
