SECTION 5
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
5.1 Pseudorandom Pattern (PRBS Pattern)
The principle of pseudorandom pattern generation is shown in Table 5.1-1. The pseudorandom pattern is represented by
the Nth-order generation polynomial shown in Table 5.1-1. One period is 2
N
-1. A PRBS pattern with a 2
N
-1 period
produces one N bits continuous “1” pattern per period.
When LOGIC is set to POS (positive logic), PRBS pattern output level “1” corresponds to low level and “0” corresponds
to High level.
The PRBS pattern mark ratio is generated by the block shown in Fig. 5.1-1. There are four mark ratios of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and
0/8 (all 0). For 1/4 and 1/8, 1-bit shift or 3 bit shift can be selected using the Dip switch on the rear of the instrument,
depending on the generation method (see section 4.6, “Functions of the FUNCTION Switch”).
When the rear panel 1/8 SPEED output is a PRBS pattern, a pattern is produced train as shown in Fig. 5.1-2.
