Complete validation of a high-speedserial link (28 Gbits/s) requires long patterns–some 2 billion bits.Long simulation run times and limitations in oscilloscope memorylength make these tests time ...

Many digital-communications systems use non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signaling, and system designers have created many NRZ test patterns to test and verify their products. These patterns usually either ...

Testing digital designs usually requires one or more digital signals, some of which can be very difficult to generate. Pattern generators are specifically designed to address this problem. Whatever ...

Systems where data is represented using bit patterns are appealing from a research point of view, but such systems just don't seem to work well in practice. It's one thing to imagine a hypothetical ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The bit error ratio (BER) is defined as the probability that a bit is received in ...
