Test & Measurement: Powerful Bit-Error-Rate Tester Works At 1500 Mbits/s

The BA1500 1500-Mbit/s BitAlyzer bit-error-rate (BER) tester provides detailed BER tests and points out where and when errors occur. It shows errors, block errors, and error-free interval statistics ...

Eye Diagrams, Bathtub Curves, And Bit-Error Rates

On an oscilloscope's eye-pattern diagram, the distance between peak deterministic and random jitter amplitudes (the unit interval, or UI) is often called a "bathtub," which functions as a ...
