FLEXDCA SOFTWARE

Keysight's N1010A FlexDCA is the software that runs on the Infiniium DCA Series of sampling oscilloscopes. It controls the measurement hardware both as a local user interface and for remote control. In addition to acquiring data and making measurements, FlexDCA encompasses powerful tools that boost productivity and provide insights into root causes of issues with the signal or device under test.

FlexDCA continues to evolve for applications such as:

  • research and design verification of electrical transmitters (ASICs, FPGAs, PHYs)
  • research, development, and manufacturing of optical transmitters/transceivers
  • analysis of reflections and transmission characteristics of electrical components and channels
  • general-purpose analysis of analog and digital signals

TDECQ Part 1: Making Accurate and Repeatable Compliance Measurements

TDECQ Part 1: Making Accurate and Repeatable Compliance Measurements

TDECQ is the acronym used to describe “transmitter dispersion and eye closure quaternary”. This is a power penalty metric that describes how much extra power is required from a transmitter, relative to an ideal transmitter, to compensate for both non-ideal transmitter waveforms and the impact of chromatic dispersion. It is similar to the transmitter dispersion penalty (TDP) metric used in NRZ optical communications standards. It was developed in the IEEE 802.3bs standard and improved in the IEEE 802.3cd standard. It is a convenient way to specify the performance of a PAM4 transmitter, as it aggregates many transmitter attributes into a single metric, and the metric directly indicates the impact a transmitter’s imperfections will have on overall system-level performance.
