Technical Note - Filter Test Using Pseudo Swept Frequencies
Frequency response is a key test item for filters. To measure the gain-frequency response, phase-frequency response, and group delay for filters, you can use the pseudo swept frequencies method. This method incrementally changes the input signal frequency to a filter (DUT), and measures the output signal from the filter.

 
Mixed-signal Lecture Series: DSP-Based Testing Fundamentals 2 - Waveform Generation
ADC and DAC are the most typical mixed signal devices. In mixed signal testing, analog stimulus signal is generated by an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) which employs a D/A converter inside, and analog signal is measured by a digitizer or a sampler which employs an A/D converter inside. The stimulus signal is created with mathematical method, and the measured signal is processed with mathematical method, extracting various parameters. It is based on digital signal processing (DSP) so that our test methodologies are often called DSP-based testing.
Modulation Fundamentals 1 - Modulation and EVM Analysis
Modulation analysis is increasingly integral to the test strategies of integrated RF SOC transceivers. The trend is that as the industry gets closer to a single-chip cell phone, more and more mission mode tests need to be performed on the transceivers to make sure that all components of the radio are working together flawlessly. In RF SOC, nothing represents mission mode test better than error vector magnitude (EVM). An acceptable EVM measurement for a complex modulation format implies that a whole host of transmitter or receiver components are within specification.
 

Question: "How do I get the expected results when measuring setup and hold time on a DDR interface?"
I need to measure setup and hold time on a high-speed DDR interface. When I look at the results the measured setup and hold times are much smaller than expected. What shall I do?
