Multi-channel signal and power analyzer

A signal and power analysis instrument, comprising:

• one or more high-bandwidth input channels configured as at least one of one or more real-equivalent time (RET) input channels or one or more radio frequency (RF) channels connected to a device under test DUT;
• one or more input channels configured as one or more low-bandwidth real-time (RT) input channels;
• one or more analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), each ADC having one or more pipes, a first set of the one or more pipes connected to the one or more high-bandwidth input channels to produce high-bandwidth data, and a second set of the one or more pipes connected to the one or more low-bandwidth RT input channels to produce low-bandwidth data;
• a system clock connected to the one or more high-bandwidth input channels, and the one or more low-bandwidth RT input channels;
• a memory connected to the system clock, the first set of the one or more pipes connected to the one or more high-bandwidth input channels, and the second set of one or more pipes connected to the one or more low-bandwidth RT input channels;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute code that causes the one or more processors to:
• store low-bandwidth data from the second set of pipes in the memory;
• store high-bandwidth data from the first set of pipes in the memory;
• and
• align the high-bandwidth data and the low-bandwidth data in time using the system clock.
