E5080B Method of Implementation (MOI) for USB3.1 Cable-Connector Assembly Compliance Test
Configuration Guides
Keysight Technologies offers a comprehensive solution for USB 3.1 connectors and cable assemblies compliance tests using its network analyzer with enhanced TDR application. The solution enables fast and accurate measurements of various electrical parameters such as propagation delay, attenuation, crosstalk, impedance, and shielding effectiveness. The solution also supports both ECal calibration and de-embedding methods to remove the effects of test fixtures and cables. The solution can be used to test different types of USB 3.1 connectors and cable assemblies, such as Standard-A, Standard-B, and Micro-AB. The solution is compliant with the USB 3.1 Legacy Cable and Connector Specification and the USB 3.1 Legacy Connectors and Cable Assemblies Compliance Document. The solution consists of the following components: - Keysight Network Analyzer: a 4-port test set with at least 9 GHz frequency range, such as E5080B-490/4D0/4H0/4K0 or P5022/23/24 (Opt.400 4-Ports). The network analyzer provides high-performance TDR/TDT measurements with fast rise time, low noise floor, and wide dynamic range. - S9x011A/B Enhanced time-domain analysis with TDR: a software application that runs on the network analyzer and provides advanced waveform analysis, de-embedding, fixture simulation, limit testing, and reporting functions for TDR/TDT measurements. - N4433D-010/0DC 4-Ports Electronic Calibration (ECal) Module or 85052D Economy Mechanical Calibration Kit: a calibration device that enables fast and accurate calibration of the network analyzer and the test fixtures. - USB 3.1 official test fixture and calibration standards: a set of fixtures and standards that are designed to interface with different types of USB 3.1 connectors and cable assemblies. The fixtures and standards are available for purchase through Luxshare-ICT. - Coaxial straight Female-SMA Female-SMA 50-Ohm adapters (Keysight 1250-1666): adapters that are used to connect the network analyzer ports to the ECal module or the test fixtures. - RF cable: 3.5 mm or SMA cables of 4 GHz bandwidth or more (e.g., 5062-6691). - Terminator: 50-ohm terminations to terminate unused ports.
