High-Speed Digital Analysis

Perform detailed characterization with powerful analysis tools

Most serial data links begin and end with high-speed ICs designed for standards-compliant interoperability. As bit rates increase, the margins for jitter, interference and other imperfections make it increasingly difficult to achieve BER of less than 10-12. The following tools will help you characterize and analyze your designs in detail. Agilent - achieve your best design.

Histograms Simplify Analysis of Random Jitter (AN 1200-9) 
The Agilent 53310A's fast histograms make it easy to get complete view of clock jitter. The shape of the histogram indicates the nature of the jitter. For example a Gaussian-shaped distribution would suggest the jitter is random. Statistics are calculated automatically to provide the mean...

Quick Identification of Periodic Jitter Sources (AN 1200-4) 
The Agilent 53310A is an easy-to-use, inexpensive tool for displaying time interval measurements versus time. Any repetitive pattern in the jitter is immediately apparent. The 53310A's analysis features readily give peak-to-peak and periodic rate information. Taking all of these clues together...
