Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Method and systems are described for estimating signal impairments, in particular jitter that includes uncorrelated, non-periodic signal impairments. One system may take the form of an oscilloscope. The estimates may take the form of a probability density function (PDF) for uncorrelated signal impairments that has been modified to replace low probability regions with a known approximation and an extrapolation of the known approximation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An oscilloscope for estimating a probability density function (PDF) for non-periodic, uncorrelated jitter comprising: control means operable to execute instructions for modifying a compound distribution representing acquired data that comprises non-periodic, uncorrelated jitter by: identifying low probability regions in the compound distribution; identifying a known approximation that models a distribution of at least a first portion of the low probability regions;…
