Course Goals / Objectives:
Learn digital sampling techniques to perform analog parametric testing, including DC, frequency response, harmonic and inter-modulation distortion, as well as noise behavior of mixed-signal circuits and systems
Apply digital sampling techniques to analog, sampled-data, RF and High-Speed digital channels. DSP-basics, such as sampling; windowing and frequency transforms (DFT and FFT) will be applied.
Learn to quantify noise behavior and its effect on measurement accuracy.
Testability, Design-for-Test (DFT) and Built-in-Self-Test (BIST) methodologies will also be introduced.
Be introduced to industrial test methodologies through a test lab
project using commercially available parts.
