Behind the scenes: J-BERT Best in Test award

How does a company win a Test and Measurement World Best in Test award? And how does it win five Best in Test awards? The answer is technology leadership, and this is one “behind the scenes” story of an award winner.

Winner for the 2010 Best in Test product in the Bit-error-rate testers category, the Agilent J-BERT N4903B owes its success to early and in-depth collaboration with key customers, focusing on their’ leading-edge technological needs for high-speed digital buses used in computer chips. The J-BERT N4903B is a high-performance serial BERT that provides the most complete jitter tolerance test for embedded and forward clocked devices.

R&D engineers sought feedback on product requirements, placed prototypes at customer sites, and visited customers often to help them turn on and test chips while getting feedback during the design phase to optimize features and specifications. In addition, the team worked with standards bodies to understand and implement early requirements. Since its launch in February 2009, no other competitor product offers the value and capability of the J-BERT B and it continues to gain market visibility with awards from Electronic Products 2009 Product of the Year, EDN Hot 100 Electronic Products, finalist in the Design Vision award, and the Best in Test honor.

Webcast on Evaluating Oscilloscope Sample Rates vs. Sampling Fidelity

Filed under: Oscilloscopes,Webcast — janetsmithagilent @ 10:44 pm
Tags: ,

Agilent will host a webcast for all users and buyers of digital oscilloscopes, particularly those in education and basic research.   “Evaluating Oscilloscope Sample Rates vs. Sampling Fidelity: How to Make the Most Accurate Digital Measurements” will show a counterintuitive concept: scopes with higher sample rates can exhibit poorer signal fidelity because of poorly aligned interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).

When:         May 05. 2010, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PT  /  1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET

Webcast on the Basics of De-Embedding and Embedding with Real-Time Oscilloscopes

Filed under: Signal Integrity,Webcast — janetsmithagilent @ 10:13 pm
Tags:

Today’s high-speed digital design engineers are faced with ever increasing data rates that create a multitude of challenges: interconnects become microwave transmission lines, reflections wreak havoc on timing margins and even the probes used to measure change the results. De-embedding is one of the most misused and misunderstood tools inside the signal integrity lab today. In this Webcast will cover the basics of de-embedding and embedding with a real time oscilloscope. Also included will be the considerations of modeling a system and obtaining the models for real circuits.
