• Design and Validation of MHL Physical Layer and Protocol Layer

 

Mobile High-definition Link (MHL) Compliance Testing

Engineers designing and validating the MHL physical layer and link layer of their devices face constant pressure to improve efficiency. Engineers need to perform a wide range of compliance tests quickly and reliably right on their bench.

The MHL 1.1/1.2/2.0 specifications support MHL, which enables mobile devices to transmit uncompressed audio/video to an HDTV or Receiver with HD capability. Option MHD Advanced Analysis and Compliance Test Software and TEK-PGY-MHL-PA-SW MHL Protocol Analyzer Software meet the MHL 1.1/1.2/2.0 CTS specification and automate a comprehensive range of tests, enabling unprecedented efficiency with reliable results.

Reliable and Dependable Results

Option MHD software embeds the MHL CTS 1.1/1.2/2.0 compliance test procedures, ensuring dependable results. Accurate jitter testing and precise violation testing deliver higher credibility. Perform Transmitter tests with simple setups that eliminate nonlinearity. Authentic measurement techniques and automation eliminate errors to provide faster test times.

Option MHD leverages the TekExpress capability to provide smooth multi-equipment interactions, providing an automated solution for Transmitter, Sink, and Dongle testing. The Direct Synthesis method ensures greater repeatability as the dependency on hardware PCB traces to insert jitter components and the need to combine common mode clock and differential data signals using hardware combiners is eliminated.
