Equalization
Equalization is used to correct for the problems caused by the
transmission channel. Equalization techniques provide a way to discern
the original signal (the signal coming out of the transmitter) given a
distorted signal at the receiver.
In other words, equalization corrects for the high-frequency component
voltage levels and, in the process, corrects the trajectories of these
components in the corresponding eye diagram (that is, opens up the eye).
The M8070A software provides integrated and adjustable equalization
capabilities to compensate the loss characteristic in an incoming signal.
Equalization in M8041A/M8051A Data In
The M8041A/M8051A Data In provides pre-defined equalization presets
on incoming signals for specific applications e.g. PCIe, USB. The
calibration of the equalization is only valid for these specific applications.
Follow the given steps to perform equalization in the M8041A/M8051A
Data In:
1Go to Menu Bar > Analyzer and then select Data In.
2 Select Input Timing functional block from the Parameters window.
3 Select the Equalization presets form the provided drop-down list.
The M8041A-0A3 or M8051A-0A3 license is required to enable the
equalization feature in M8041A Data In or M8051A Data In, respectively.
