  • System and Method for Physical-Layer Testing of High-Speed Serial Links in their Mission Environments
    Publication number: 20080192814
    Abstract: A physical-layer tester for testing a high-speed serial link between a mission-environment transmitter and a mission-environment receiver. The tester includes a data path and a measurement path. The data path allows a data signal transmitted from the mission-environment transmitter to be passed through the tester to the mission-environment receiver. The measurement path includes circuitry for use in analyzing characteristics of the high-speed serial data traffic on the high-speed serial link. The tester is placed in the high-speed serial link and allows the link to be tested while live, mission-environment data is present on the link. Methods for implementing in-link testing are also disclosed.
