数字时序测量

As many circuits and applicaTIons now enter the Gigahertz frequency arena, accurate digital TIming and jitter measurements have become crucial in the design, verificaTIon, characterizaTIon, and application of electronic circuits. To be successful in this endeavor, an engineer needs a knowledge base covering instrumentation, measurement techniques, jitter and timing concepts, statistics, and transmission line theory. Very often even the most experienced digital test engineer – while mastering some of those subjects – lacks systematic knowledge or experience in the high speed signal area. The goal of this book is to give a compact yet in-depth overview on all those subjects. The emphasis is on practical concepts and real-life guidelines that can be readily put into practice. It unites in one place a variety of information relevant to high speed testing and measurement, signal fidelity, and instrumentation. To keep the text easily readable – after all this is an introductory book – we refrained from putting references directly into the text. For readers interested in further study of any of the subjects we highly recommend checking out the “References and Further Reading” section at the end of this book which contains the titles of a large selection of additional books, papers, and application notes that were the basis for this work. A final word to all numerical values – for reasons of consistency this book uses international (SI) units throughout – this means that some numerical factors in the formulas are different compared to the original literature they were taken from.
