Designing the Best Reference Transmitter for Serdes Testing: AWG vs BERT
December 15, 2023
Many choices go into the design of a reference transmitter for stressed receiver testing, and every choice can lead to unintended complications when it’s time to calibrate the stressed signal. The pattern generator component of advanced BERTs come equipped with internal noise sources like sinusoidal jitter and interference, random jitter and noise; multi-channel generators can even apply genuine crosstalk.
Noise in Traffic: Signal Emulation for Automotive Apps
November 14, 2023
BitifEye introduces the signal impairments required for receiver testing in the emerging automotive standards like ASA, MIPI's A-PHY, Automotive Ethernet, etc. From "automotive cable crosstalk" to "car noise" to "fast transient pulses," the standards specify different sources of noise in different ways, some as in the form of time evolutions, others as spectra; this article focuses on techniques for generating and calibrating each noise source. In the process, they describe advanced de-embedding techniques and address test equipment limitations.
Noise in Traffic: Signal Emulation for Automotive Apps
October 1, 2023
Automotive applications present new challenges to high-speed serial technology. Asymmetric, multi-gigabit signaling between sensors, processors, and displays in the unique noise environments of both electric and internal combustion engine vehicles create new problems for signal and power integrity engineers. This paper introduces the signal impairments required for receiver testing in the emerging automotive standards like ASA, MIPI's A-PHY, Automotive Ethernet, and more. Standards specify different sources of noise in different ways, some in the form of time evolutions, others as spectra. This paper focuses on techniques for generating and calibrating each noise source while describing advanced de-embedding techniques and addressing test equipment limitations.

BitifEye还观察到，如今新一代员工对于机械性重复操作非常不感兴趣，若坚持采用传统的方式来操作，会导致人员的异动频率越来越高，从而衍生出重复从业培训与人员衔接困扰、以及人为操作失误机率升高等问题。另外，不当操作也会让配件与夹具快速损耗，最后造成测试质量难以管控等风险。
