Abstract
The invention relates to a real-time oscilloscope with a built-in time domain reflectometry (TDR) and/or time-domain transmission (TDT) function for measurements of a device under test (DUT). The real-time oscilloscope comprises at least one built-in generator and at least one real-time measurement channel. The built-in generator is in communication with the real-time measurement channel and the device under test (DUT) and is configured to generate incident signals. The real-time measurement channel is configured to capture incident signals transmitted to and reflected by and/or transmitted by the device under test (DUT).
Claims18
A real-time oscilloscope with a built-in time domain reflectometry (TDR) and/or time-domain transmission (TDT) function for measurements of a device under test (DUT), comprising:
- at least one built-in generator, and
- at least one real-time measurement channel,
- wherein the built-in generator is in communication with the real-time measurement channel and the device under test (DUT) and is configured to generate incident signals, and
- wherein the real-time measurement channel is configured to capture incident signals transmitted to and reflected by and/or transmitted by the device under test (DUT).
A method for performing time domain measurements with a real-time oscilloscope the method comprising the steps of:
- generating an incident signal with the aid of a built-in generator,
- transmitting the incident signal to a device under test (DUT),
- measuring a reflection signal of said incident signal at an input of the device under test (DUT) and measuring a transmission signal of said incident signal at an output of the DUT, and
- acquiring the incident signals transmitted to and reflected and/or transmitted by the device under test (DUT) with the aid of the real-time measurement channel.
