A clock waveform XC(t) is transformed into a complex analytic signal using a Hilbert transformer and an instantaneous phase of this analytic signal is estimated. A linear phase is subtracted from the instantaneous phase to obtain a varying term &Dgr;&phgr;(t). A difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the varying term &Dgr;&phgr;(t) is obtained as a peak-to-peak jitter, and a root-mean-square of the varying term &Dgr;&phgr;(t) is calculated to obtain an RMS jitter.

A signal under measurement is transformed into a complex analytic signal using a Hilbert transformer and an instantaneous phase of this analytic signal is estimated. A linear phase is subtracted from the instantaneous phase to obtain a phase noise waveform. The phase noise waveform is sampled in the proximity of a zero crossing point of a real part of the analytic signal. A differential waveform of the sample phase noise waveform is calculated to obtain a differential phase noise waveform. An RMS jitter is obtained from the phase noise waveform, and a peak-to-peak jitter is obtained from the phase noise waveform.

A probe circuit is provided in an electronic device that includes a circuit which is under test and outputs a response signal corresponding to an input signal in synchronization with an operation clock. The probe circuit includes a sampling clock supplying section that outputs a sampling clock having a predetermined frequency, and a sampling section that outputs, outside the electronic device, a probe output signal of which frequency is lower than a frequency of the response signal and which corresponds to a sampling result obtained by sampling the response signal using the sampling clock. The response signal has a prescribed signal pattern repeated with a predetermined recurrence period, and the sampling clock supplying section outputs the sampling clock of which relative phase with respect to the signal pattern sequentially changes in each recurrence period.

A test apparatus configured to test an N-bit (N represents an integer) A/D converter is provided. A voltage generating unit outputs a 2N-valued analog voltage to the A/D converter. A capture unit captures an output code of the A/D converter for each level. A signal processing unit compares the output code captured for each level with the corresponding expected value code, corrects the value of the analog voltage for each level based upon the comparison result, and outputs the corrected analog voltage to the voltage generating unit.

A carrier module that is able to adapt non-standard instrument cards to the architecture of a test system is disclosed. Instrument cards based on non-standard architectures may be combined on a single carrier module. The carrier module is then plugged into the test head of the test system. The carrier module provides circuitry, contained on a plug-in sub-module called an Application Interface Adapter (AIA), to interface between the instrument cards and the test head interface connector. Additionally, the AIA may also provide access from the instrument cards to ATE system calibration circuitry. The carrier module uses the standard data bus of the test system for housekeeping and control functions. A second bus provides the bus for the non-standard instrument cards. Software drivers provided with the instrument cards are encapsulated with an appropriate wrapper so that the cards run seamlessly in the software environment of the test system.
