Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To instantaneously trigger on a frequency deviation dF/dT of an SSC signal.SOLUTION: A signal received at an input terminal 210 of a test and measurement instrument 200 is low-pass filtered and transmitted to dF/dT trigger circuitry 220. The dF/dT trigger circuitry 220 includes trigger circuitry and a PLL circuit. The trigger circuitry is connected to an output terminal of an adjustable low-pass filter in the PLL circuit, and receives a proportional path output signal of the PLL circuit. Thereby, when a frequency deviation in the filtered SSC signal exceeds or crosses one or more thresholds, the trigger circuitry produces a trigger event.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a waveform test signal having the crest factor emulation of a random jitter. SOLUTION: A CPU 60 generates a user interface on a display unit 56 and sets a parameter for a serial data pattern and parameters for a data ministick jitter defect given to the serial data pattern, a random jitter defect, and a random jitter defect and at least one deviation crest factor emulation defect. Using these parameters, a waveform record file is generated to keep a deviation crest factor emulation defect selectively positioned in the defect serial data pattern. A waveform generation circuit 70 generates a defective serial data pattern analog output signal based on the defects. A displaced crest factor emulation defect is selectively positioned at the defective serial data pattern analog output signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively measure a transport delay and jitters by using a real-time oscilloscope based on cross-correlation. SOLUTION: Waveforms at two test points of a system to be tested are fetched (Step 1). The constant clocks of the two waveforms are reproduced, and each offset value is found (Steps 2, 3). The time offset between the individual offset values is calculated (Step 4). Jitters from the two test points are filtered (Step 5), and an average removal cross-correlation coefficient between the filtered jitters from the two test points is calculated (Step 6). The time offset and the average removal cross-correlation coefficient are added, and a transport delay is computed (Step 8). COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply a plurality of probes with time-aligned signals when performing deskew adjustment of the plurality of measuring probes. SOLUTION: A signal launch contact 16 (18, 19) and probe holders 24, 26 are arranged in the mirror connection on opposite faces of a multilayer circuit substrate 12. A first pair 18 of the signal launch contact is earthed, and a second pair 19 is coupled with a signal source through an electromagnetic coupling strip line having the equal length. The probe holders support each measuring probe on the circuit substrate and couples each probe contact of the measuring probes with the signal launch contact. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
