Abstract

"In this paper we will show the application of the asynchronous histograms for monitoring and characterizing, at low sampling rate, very high data rate systems. We will describe the method and its results for two transition functions, which correspond to two different pulse shapes. From the results we show the possibility of obtaining an amplitude description of the eye diagram from one completely closed eye observed by asynchronous, under-sampled eye diagram and/or amplitude histograms."
