Making Accurate Signal Integrity Measurements using a Vector Network Analyzer

Making Accurate Signal Integrity Measurements using a Vector Network Analyzer

The Vector Network Analyzer is becoming ubiquitous in signal integrity laboratories as data rates increase inside network and data centers.

The Vector Network Analyzer is becoming ubiquitous in signal integrity laboratories as data rates increase inside network and data centers. Crosstalk issues in the physical layer are causing more bit errors at the receiver as users try push more data through the channel. This webcast will review tools and techniques for making quality signal integrity measurements using a Vector Network Analyzer. The webcast will begin with an overview of challenges to making signal integrity measurements and methods to overcome these challenges. This will be followed by techniques for identifying sources of crosstalk, channel loss, reflections and eye closure. Advanced error correction techniques will be discussed at the end of the webcast.
