Advanced Waveform Analysis Software
Accelerate Your Design Cycles
with Deeper Insights in Less Time
Waveform analysis features:
–– Accurately capture long waveforms (up to 223 bits) with or without averaging
–– Samples/waveform limited only by size of hard disk or memory stick
–– Oscilloscope measurements on equalized waveforms with built-in Linear
Feedforward Equalization (LFE) tool
–– MATLAB^® interface allows instant processing of oscilloscope data:
–– Observe and characterize the output waveforms of any LFE, Decision Feedback
Equalizer (DFE) or other algorithm
–– Calculate and display figures of merit or penalty using published or proprietary
scripts
Option 201 offers advanced waveform
analysis for breakthrough insights
and faster standard compliance
measurements such as Transmitter
Waveform Dispersion Penalty (TWDP)¹
High bit-rate systems, combined with increasing use of pre-emphasis and equalization
techniques, make it more important than ever to accurately and completely characterize
the quality of your transmission signals.
Option 201 offers unique analysis capabilities as well as industry-leading
performance to accurately characterize high-speed signals.

Option 201
At today’s high bit rates, advanced techniques must be used to maintain
very low bit error ratio (BER) performance. Pre‑emphasis on the
transmission side and equalization on the receive side are common ways
to counteract the impairments of inter-symbol interference (ISI) on circuit
boards.

1.  Transmitter Dispersion Waveform Penalty (TWDP) is a compliance measurement methodology
adopted by several standards that quantifi es transmitter performance for systems using dispersive
channels and equalizing receivers. TWDP and related methodologies may contain intellectual property
by one or more third parties. Keysight Technologies, Inc., does not license, sell or distribute TWDP
scripts. Any intellectual property rights necessary to run TWDP scripts in conjunction with the
Keysight 86100 DCA are not granted by Keysight.
