• 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.

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.

Interoperable and Failure Free MIPI A-PHY® Devices are the Goal — Receiver Testing Can Help

Serializers and De-serializers (SerDes), are common in virtually all high-speed digital bus technologies.  They are responsible for taking various digital inputs and sending them over distance using high-speed serial links. Next-generation advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) will use sensors like cameras, radar, and lidar with increasingly high resolutions, requiring a network with faster data throughput and greater bandwidth.

Typically, SerDes are built to be asymmetrical; they use a high-speed downlink for data transit, such as from a camera to the central CPU, and a slower uplink for less-demanding tasks like device monitoring and control. This type of link is well suited to remote sensors in the vehicle, which require high-speed outputs but should ideally be limited in their implementation complexity, power requirements, and cost.
