Transmitter Test for Serial Data Applications
With increasing signal speeds in today's designs, identifying tight amplitude and timing margins are critical to the success or failure of your development program.
Tektronix oscilloscopes for transmitter testing have the industry-best signal fidelity and the lowest noise floor to provide you with the measurement accuracy to perform critical rise-time, jitter and noise measurements with confidence.
Measurement solutions such as jitter and eye analysis tools, de-embedding and equalization software allow for analysis of the most challenging system designs.
Webinars
- The Case of the Closing Eye Webinar
The origins of digital problems often lie in the analog realm. See how signal integrity analysis can help you keep your eyes open. 15:56 min. Speaker: Ransom Stephens. - The Meaning of Total Jitter Webinar
In this tutorial, we'll clarify the difference between peak-to-peak jitter and Total Jitter at a bit error ratio once and for all. We'll also discuss how TJ (BER) is estimated on oscilloscopes. - All About the Acronyms: RJ, DJ, DDJ, ISI, DCD, PJ, SJ Webinar
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to diagnose jitter problems by analyzing the different jitter components-each of which has its own acronym. We'll also see which of the components are independent and where they fit in specifications.
