This video describes the basic concept behind eye patterns on an oscilloscope and how they can be used to evaluate the quality and signal integrity of a serial bit stream or data stream. It discusses how signal impairments such as jitter, ringing, overshoot, undershoot, noise, etc. can all be evaluated on a serial bit stream using an eye pattern.

I started taking a passive interest in DSP and signal processing about two years ago, when I picked up my first RTL-based sdr and started decoding trunked radio and other digital modes. I've seen many of these eye charts and constellations since then but nobody ever takes the time to explain how they work, which i can understand, but it can be frustrating. So thank you for putting together a simple and extremely clear explanation of these figures and how they are useful.

I was a what you would call a tech class amateur many years ago and this was one area I never really got to grips with. Thanks for all the great videos so far I think I have learnt something from every single one. It's obvious why Tek employ you in your position, clear and concise instructions.

Hi Alen. A great tutorial. I would like to ask you if it is possible to see the eye pattern of a DVB-ASI signal by directly connecting the signal from source bnc connector to this Oscilloscope's input? Can it be possible to see the digital signals in a DVB-ASI source with this Oscilloscope by a bnc to bnc connection? Thanks!

@w2aew 10 жыл бұрын

BPSK, QPSK, etc. are all RF modulation types, and thus don't have visible eye patterns directly when looking at the RF signal. When demodulated back to baseband data, then there is an eye pattern that you can view. This requires vector signal analysis or modulation analysis capability that most people aren't going to have available to them. Of course, looking at the output of a receiver that is demodulating these signals will give you an eye pattern too.

how about this then? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Binary_PSK_eye_diagram.svg

@w2aew 10 жыл бұрын

Jones Panicker Sure, that shows the resulting eye pattern after filtering and demodulation. The actual BPSK modulated carrier signal looks more like this: electronicdesign.com/site-files/electronicdesign.com/files/archive/electronicdesign.com/content/content/64598/64598_fig02_inline_cropped.gif

hmm. but i don't understand how en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Binary_PSK_eye_diagram.svg came about. if anyone could explain that it would be great.

@w2aew 10 жыл бұрын

That eye would come from performing a phase demodulation on a BPSK signal, using a phase detector or phase locked loop demodulator, or something similar. This would give the baseband digital bit stream which could then be displayed as an eye diagram per this video.

If you have a vector of simulated serial data, then you can plot it vs. a sawtooth waveform that you can create using the mod() function.

whether data should be in binary? and why only sawtooth..

Sawtooth is the X variable - this is what will help you to overlay consecutive groups of bits on top of each other.

Nice tutorial Alan, but the MDO4k scope, cost around £17,000 ($29,000 US), do you think you could give your tutorials with something hobbyists actually own? Even a Saleae?? Cheers.

@w2aew 10 жыл бұрын

The MDO4000 series starts under $10K US, MDO3000 start about $3K US. However, eye patterns like this can be displayed on just about ANY scope, even analog CRT based scopes. As long as the scope has some form on waveform persistence, eye patterns can be displayed. I used the MDO4000 because it's large screen shows up on video very well.

@StuartTaylorEsquire 10 жыл бұрын

***** hey, don't get me wrong, if I had an MDO 4k I'd be using it too, however, even at $3k for a scope, that's out of reach for your average maker/hobbyist - a $99 scope or saleae is more likely to be in their kit, and so your excellent tutoring would resonate ;-)
