Title
Low-Cost 20 Gbps Digital Test Signal Synthesis Using SiGe and InP Logic
Abstract
This paper demonstrates the signal performance obtained by combining data from two 10 Gbps SiGe serializers using a very high-speed, low-jitter InP exclusive-OR gate. The technique has been used in the past for lower-speed (i.e. 驴12.8 Gbps) applications. However, success at higher speeds depends upon tight control of timing and signal integrity. Relatively low-cost (off-the-shelf) components are used so that the method can be applied to test scenarios requiring many high-speed channels. Analysis of the demonstration circuit performance reveals the challenges, capabilities, and limitations of the method. A Development Platform is also described that facilitates individual module characterization and integration of multiple modules to form customized test systems.
