High-Speed Time-Domain Measurements—Practical Tips for Improvement

Making accurate high-speed time domain measurements can be challenging, but a few tips and tricks, coupled with some good old-fashioned commonsense engineering, can help yield quick and accurate results. When choosing a scope and probe for high-speed measurement, first consider: signal amplitude, source impedance, rise time, and bandwidth. The type of probe and length of the ground lead are also important.
