18 Amplitude
Ratio of I Eye
A Free decision distance in height of I Eye Diagram and calculated as
percentage of 2BI/(AI+BI). AI and BI are the maximum and
minimum amplitude difference at the decision point of I Eye
Diagram. An ideal signal has a decision height of 100%
%
19 Amplitude
Ratio of Q Eye
A Free decision distance in height of Q Eye Diagram and calculated as
percentage of 2BQ/ (AQ+ BQ). AQ and BQ are the maximum and
minimum amplitude difference at the decision point of Q Eye
Diagram. An ideal signal has a decision height of 100%
%
20 Time Ratio of I
Eye
A Free decision distance in width of I Eye Diagram and calculated as
percentage of 2B’I/(A’I+B’I). A’I and B’I is the maximum and
minimum zero-cross time width in I Eye Diagram. An ideal signal
has a decision width of 100%
%
21 Time Ratio of Q
Eye
A Free decision distance in width of Q Eye Diagram and calculated as
percentage of 2B’Q/ (A’Q+ B’Q). A’Q and B’Q is the maximum and
minimum zero-cross time width in Q Eye Diagram. An ideal signal
has a decision width of 100%
