• fully error-corrected time-domain reflection or transmission response
• gating available to remove unwanted responses (e.g., from test fixtures)
• transform frequency domain to the time domain or time domain to the frequency domain
• beneficial in tuning many filter types, including cavity-resonator filters

The time-domain capability allows you to measure the time-domain response of a device. The analyzer can transform frequency-domain data to the time domain or time-domain data to the frequency domain.

The transform used by the analyzer resembles time-domain reflectometry (TDR) measurements. TDR measurements, however, are made by launching an impulse or step into the test device and observing the response in time with a receiver, similar to an oscilloscope. In contrast, the analyzer makes swept frequency response measurements and mathematically transforms the data into a time-domain reflectometer-like display.

Jitter Analysis Provides

• Automatic setup wizard for creating jitter histograms, trends, and spectrums
• Automatic setup wizard for RJ/DJ separation via multiple algorithms, pattern lengths, BER levels
• Multiple clock recovery methods
• Calibration to remove RJ from oscilloscope
• Composite histograms and graphs of separated RJ, PJ, DJ, DDJ, DCD and ISI jitter subcomponents
• Composite histograms and graphs of separated TI, DDI, PI, ISI noise subcomponents
• Spectral and noise BER bathtubs

Phase Noise Analysis Provides

• Plotting Single Side Band (SSB) phase noise as log frequency vs dBc/Hz
• Using 2 channels and cross-correlation to reduce broadband measurement noise.
• Measure phase noise of differential clocks with reduced broadband measurement noise.
• Measure phase noise of spread-spectrum modulated clocks.
• Reduce broadband noise (RJ) in cross-correlated time interval error (TIE) measurements.
• Measure integrated jitter between two frequencies on phase noise plot.
• Measure phase noise in circuit with InfiniiMax probes.

With faster edge speeds and shrinking data valid windows in today's high-speed digital designs, insight into the causes of jitter has become critical for success. This jitter analysis software, combined with Keysight's Infiniium 90000, V-, Z- or UXR-Series oscilloscopes, is a key tool for identifying and quantifying jitter components that affect the reliability of your design. Time correlation of jitter to the real-time signal makes it easy to trace jitter components to their sources. Additional compliance views and a measurement setup wizard now simplify and automate RJ/DJ separation for testing against industry standards.

This software automatically detects embedded clock frequencies and repetitive patterns of the data on the oscilloscope inputs and calculates the level of data-dependent jitter (DDJ) that is contributed to the total jitter (TJ) PDF by each transition in the pattern. It also comes with both spectral and tail-fit jitter separation algorithm.

Every waveform is different. As a result, having the flexibility of multiple jitter separation solutions means better answers for each individual waveform. Use the new tail-fit algorithm to properly identify and measure aperiodic bounded uncorrelated jitter, which is especially useful if the waveform is being influenced by cross-talk.

The phase noise analysis feature measures phase noise in a clock source. Phase noise measurement results are presented in a log frequency plot where the amplitude units are dBc/Hz (decibels relative to the carrier power normalized to a 1 Hz bandwidth). Phase noise is one of the most important figures of merit of a signal generating device and can be a limiting factor in a mission-critical application within aerospace and defense, as well as in communications.

• NOW able to decode 10BASE-T1S protocols.
• Set up your scope to show Automotive Ethernet protocol decode in less than 30 seconds.
• Get access to a rich set of integrated protocol-level triggers.
• Save time and eliminate errors by viewing packets at the protocol level.
• Use time-correlated views to quickly troubleshoot protocol problems back to their timing or signal integrity root cause.

This application includes a suite of configurable protocol-level trigger conditions specific to Automotive Ethernet OABR and IEEE standards. The multi-tab protocol viewer includes a correlation between the waveforms and the selected packet, enabling you to quickly move between the physical and protocol layer information using the time-correlated tracking marker.

NOTE: The 100 and 1000BASE-T1 protocol generates a full duplex connection using a differential pair of wires for data transmission. If your wire pair signal is transmitting in opposite directions at the same time, it cannot be decoded. To separate the signals, you can use the Automotive Ethernet fixture available for purchase as part of AE6000T or standalone as AE6941A.
