Precision time base operation and integrated precision timebase
Measurement performance can be further enhanced by adding precision time base
capability to the 86100 mainframe. The precision time base reduces the intrinsic jitter
of the scope and is recommended when analyzing high-speed data signals. Precision
timebase capability is achieved using the 86107A precision timebase plug-in module or
integrating the precision timebase system within the 86100D mainframe (86100D Option
PTB). 86100D-PTB does not consume a mainframe plug-in slot. 6

1. Filtering provided for Option 010 bands 2.4 to 4.0 GHz and 9.0 to 12.6 GHz, for Option 020 9.0 to 12.6 GHz and 18 to 25.0 GHz, for Option 40 9.0 to
12.6 GHz, 18.0 to 25.0 GHz, and 39.0 to 48.0 GHz. Within the filtered bands, a synchronous clock signal should be provided (Clock, sinusoid, BERT trigger,
etc.). Outside these bands, filtering is required to minimize harmonics and sub harmonics and provide a sinusoid to the 86107 input. (Not required for
86100D-PTB).
2. For the 86107A with Option 020, the Keysight 11742A (DC block) is recommended if the DC offset magnitude is greater than 200 mV.
3. Ships with female-female connector saver(s).
4. With 86107A module, or 86100D-PTB, and an 861xx, N1045 Option LOJ, or N1055A module (electrical channel).
5. With 86107A module, or 86100D-PTB, and 54xxx, 8348x, and N1045A plug-in modules.
6. If an 86107A module is used in an 86100D frame with Option PTB, the internal precision timebase is disabled.
