System Impulse Response Correction
Option IRC provides System Impulse Response Correction (SIRC) data for an 86105C, 86105D, 86115D, or 86116C module. The SIRC data enhances FlexDCA measurement capability by providing a digital filter that:
- Improves the response of module reference filters to more closely match an ideal receiver.
- Enables non-standard reference receiver rates or bandwidths.
- Increases the bandwidth of the channel by up to 50%.
- Ensures that an eye diagram will look identical between different modules.
You must download and import the SIRC data file before you can use Option IRC. The SIRC calibration data can be downloaded and imported into either FlexDCA running embedded on an N1000A or FlexDCA Remote Access running on an external PC.
Option IRC enabled modules are identified on the module's rear-panel serial number sticker.
