The QualiPHY USB4 Electrical Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) Compliance Test Software (QPHY-USB4-TX-RX) runs on the LabMaster 10 Zi-A and WaveMaster/SDA 8 Zi-B oscilloscopes from Teledyne LeCroy, which are used in conjunction with Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R (SQA-R) MP1900A BERT. The USB Type-C connector is quickly becoming the PC industry’s standard for converged high-speed data, […]
Measuring and abating jitter
Electronic noise results in spurious signals (spurs) or distortion in amplitude, frequency or both. Jitter refers to unwanted variation in frequency, particularly in digital pulses and typically in the clock signal. Timing disruptions negatively impact system performance, particularly in ADCs, where sampling occurs, and in DACs. We’ll discuss causes of jitter, its detection and measurement […]
Economical real-time scopes carry high-rez 12-bit channels, 0.2 psec equivalent-time sampling
The PicoScope 9404-16 SXRTO is a 16-GHz sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope which extends the range of a preceding 5-GHz model. Designed to analyze repetitive or clock-derived signals, it features four high-resolution 12-bit channels driven by up to 5 TS/sec (0.2 psec) equivalent-time sampling (ETS). The wide-band inputs can accurately measure transitions as fast as 22 psec, […]
Scope software allows timing phase noise, jitter performance assessments
A collaboration between Keysight Technologies and Silicon Labs streamlines the validation of timing solutions critical in the development of system-level designs for wireless communications, high-speed digital, medical imaging and automotive applications. Timing plays a key role in the smooth transfer of data in wireless and wireline networks and relies on highly accurate clocks. Easy access […]
Scopes get jitter decomposition feature to aid debugging efforts
A new option for the R&S RTO and R&S RTP oscilloscopes helps development engineers gain more insight into the individual jitter components of their transmission interface. Now they can separate jitter into its random and deterministic components and view results flexibly for effective debugging. The Rohde & Schwarz decomposition algorithm uses a parametric signal model […]
T&M supplier extends package pricing for German-engineered entry-level test instruments
Rohde & Schwarz is running an extended promotion to June 30, 2020 that includes 10 value bench instrument solutions. Rohde & Schwarz’s “This Changed Everything” promotion continues to support customers’ long-term viability and eliminate the add-as-you-go component, presenting the opportunity to purchase all the bandwidth, channels, inputs, memory interfaces and signal generation design engineers may […]
Test setup handles next-generation DDR5 memory
The world’s first design and test workflow solution designed to reduce product development time for Double-Data Rate Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DDR5 DRAM) systems has been developed by Keysight Technologies. Running at twice the data rate of DDR4, DDR5 DRAM shrinks design margins and makes it difficult for a hardware designer to optimize the printed circuit […]
Vector network analyzer covers 9 kHz to 1.5 GHz range
The T3VNA1500 Vector Network Analyzer enhances the existing T3 test equipment portfolio, adding to the affordable selection of test equipment that engineers, developers and schools can use to assemble a well-equipped test bench efficiently, reliably and within budget. “The introduction of the T3VNA1500 Vector Network Analyzer is an exciting development as it expands on the […]
Understanding noise in electronic instrumentation
In measuring or displaying weak signals, noise places the ultimate limit on detectability. It usually appears as a fluctuating horizontal line known as the noise floor in a spectrum analyzer of oscilloscope in FFT or RF mode. In the time domain, it appears as a thickening of the trace and in severe instances, causes a […]
Open-source tool addresses signal integrity problems
An open-source software tool called SignalIntegrity handles signal integrity problems for design and test engineers. More than 1,500 users have downloaded the free Python-based software since it has been made available. The new SignalIntegrity software is now available from Teledyne LeCroy and provides extra analysis capabilities to Teledyne LeCroy’s WavePulser 40iX High-Speed Interconnect Analyzer, a […]
