Voltage level crest factor
You can also select the crest factor out of 4 values – an indicator of signal quality –
using V_P/V_RMS or V_PP/V_RMS scales, depending on the standard to which you are testing.
The 81150A and the 81160A use the definition: crest factor = V_P/V_RMS
The result is noise that combines two extremes:
–– Random and repeatable noise, for stress tests on one side
–– While still being sufficiently random
Pattern Generator –
Test in Addition to Analog,
Digital and Mixed Signal
Devices
Engineers working with serial buses or designers of analog, digital and mixed signal
devices require stressing their design with pattern. The optional Keysight 81150A and
81160A arbitrary bit shaped pattern generator allows sending ideal and real-world
pattern. The Keysight 81150A with arbitrary bit shaped pattern (Option PAT) allows
emulating overshoot, asymmetric delay and duty cycle distortion up to 120 Mbit/s, the
Keysight 81160A up to 330 Mbit/s (Option 330) or even up to 660 Mbit/s (Option 660).
Patterns can be easily set up and distorted at your fingertips.
