Latest Patents
Christopher Forker holds a patent for a "Link Equalization Tester." This invention encompasses a method and apparatus for performing link equalization testing via a physical layer test and measurement system. The system includes a protocol-aware test apparatus for transmitting testing data, a device under test for receiving the transmitted data, and an oscilloscope for capturing the output waveform from the device under test. The protocol-aware test apparatus selects a first of a plurality of preset values, sends an equalization signal to the device under test, and adjusts the communication speed to a predetermined rate. After placing the device under test in loopback mode, a compliance pattern is sent, and the oscilloscope captures the output waveform for analysis to determine compliance with the predetermined link equalization speed.
