    摘要: A test and measurement device includes a signal generator to generate a test signal, a signal analyzer to receive a response signal from an adaptive system under test (SUT), communications ports to allow reception of the response signal, and one or more processors to send a signal to the signal generator to generate a first test signal, receive a response signal from the signal analyzer, measure performance of the response signal, and report the performance to at least one of the SUT and a user workspace on the test and measurement device. A method of testing a system under test (SUT) includes generating and sending a test signal with a signal generator, receiving a response signal from the SUT at a signal analyzer, measuring performance of the response signal with respect to the test signal, and reporting the performance to at least one of the SUT and a user workspace.

    摘要: A test and measurement instrument includes an input to receive a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) waveform signal from a device under test, a ramp generator to use the NRZ waveform signal to generate a ramp sweep signal, a gate to gate the ramp sweep signal and the NRZ waveform signal to produce gated X-axis and Y-axis data, and a display to display the gated X-axis and Y-axis data as a cyclic loop image. A method of generating a cyclic loop image includes receiving an input waveform, using the input waveform to generate a ramp sweep signal, gating the ramp sweep signal and the input waveform to produce gated X-axis and Y-axis data, and displaying the gated X-axis and Y-axis data as a cyclic loop image.

    摘要: A method of characterizing a communication channel includes receiving a first signal from a set of transmitters reflected along a reflected channel from each element of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) set at a nominal angle, receiving a second signal reflected in the reflected channel from each element of the RIS set at an adjusted angle, using the first and second signals to determine a transfer function for a combined channel comprised of a reflected channel and a direct channel, and using the transfer function as an input to a machine learning network to determine optimized settings for the elements of the RIS. A communications system includes a set of transmitters, a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), one or more receivers positioned to receive signals reflected by the RIS from the set of transmitters, and a machine learning system configured to produce optimized angles for elements of the RIS.

    摘要: A composite analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has a low resolution ADC configured to receive and digitize analog data, the low resolution ADC having a low resolution and a high operating speed, one or more high resolution ADCs configured to receive and digitize the analog data, the one or more high resolution ADCs having a resolution higher than the low resolution ADC, and an operating speed lower than the high operating speed of the low resolution ADC, a sample clock generator to provide a sample clock signal to the low resolution ADC and to a clock divider, a mixer to receive the analog data and connected to the one or more high resolution ADCs, a local oscillator connected to the mixer to allow one or more high resolution ADCs to be tuned to sample a portion of a spectrum of the low resolution ADC. A test and measurement instrument contains a composite ADC. A method of operating a composite analog-to-digital converter (ADC), includes receiving an analog signal at a low resolution ADC that operates at a high speed, receiving the analog signal at one or more high resolution ADCs that operate at a resolution higher than the low resolution ADC and at a lower speed than the operating speed of the low resolution ADC, tuning the high resolution ADC to phase align and time align a signal path for the one or more high resolution ADCs to the signal path for the low resolution ADC, producing a spectrum from the low resolution ADC, and producing a portion of the spectrum from the one or more high resolution ADCs.

    摘要: A test and measurement device includes an input port for receiving a bus conducting data from a device under test, and processing element coupled to the input port. The processing element is configured to execute instructions that cause the processing element to determine a data sequence from a signal of the bus received on a main channel of the device, and use information from at least one other signal of the bus on an auxiliary channel of the device based upon a protocol associated with the bus to adjust parameters for performing error detection on the data sequence. A method of performing error detection in a test instrument includes receiving, at an input port of the test instrument, a bus conducting a data sequence from a device under test, determining the data sequence from a signal of the bus received on a main channel of the test instrument, and using information from at least one other signal of the bus received on an auxiliary channel of the test instrument to perform error detection on the data sequence.
