The fly in the ointment is that scopes typically don't have very high bandwidth (more than a few MHz) in X-Y mode. The X-axis amplifier section of even a relatively-fast analog scope like the 2467 is only rated at 3 MHz, and you'll probably get significant phase shift long before that point is reached -- jm For sure, you shouldn't use an analog scope for this, for the reason John gives. In an analog scope, both the vertical amplifiers and the vertical CRT deflection system are optimized for speed, but the horizontal aren't. Even if you use identical amplifiers for X and Y, the horizontal CRT deflection structure will limit the X bandwidth, and give you considerable phase shift well below the cutoff frequency. Modern digital scopes, on the other hand, should work equally well on the two axes. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
