Abstract
An asynchronous sampling arrangement utilizes sampling of both a high speed data signal and a trigger (clock) signal. The data signal may be either an optical signal or an electrical signal. The data and trigger signals are sampled in parallel by two separate gates, the gates based on the same strobe frequency. The samples corresponding to the trigger signal are then processed through an algorithm that determines the time-base related to the sampled signal. This established time-base is then used to reconstruct the sampled version of the high data rate input signal waveform.
