Eye diagrams alone may not be as effective in showing major system issues and should be coupled with BER-based measurements for deeper insight and problem resolution.Application Note Comparing Jitter Using a BERTScope® Bit Error Rate Testing
Introduction In most systems, it is desirable to have each data bit have the same duration (see Figures 1(a) and 2(d)). When bits vary in length, either randomly or systematically, this is known as jitter. One traditional form of …Application Note D.C. Blocks, a Trap for the Unwary When Using Long Patterns
It is obvious to focus on ensuring that the upper frequency of the range is adequate to pass the desired data signal; while it is less obvious to worry about the low end frequency specification, this application note discusses that it can be equally …Application Note Signal Integrity of Reference Clock Bleed-Through in an IC
This application note examines some signal integrity examples related to AMB testing, but also with wider applicability. Clock bleed-through is examined, as well as the effect of a lowered supply voltage on error performance.Application Note Six Sigma’ Mask Testing with a BERTScope® Bit Error Rate Tester
Introduction Mask testing is a common method of estimating whether a transmitted waveform is of sufficient quality to meet system requirements. In most systems the requirement is to pass bits error free, or at least at better than 1 …Application Note Bridging the Gap Between BER and Eye Diagrams — A BER Contour Tutorial
Abstract This paper provides an introduction to the BER Contour measurement - what it is, how it is constructed, and why it is a valuable way of viewing parametric performance at gigabit speeds. It also provides illustrative examples …Application Note Clock Recovery’s Impact on Test and Measurement
