The WAVECREST DTS-2079 is a high-precision Jitter and Timing Analyzer engineered for validating signal integrity in high-speed digital communication systems. Developed for rigorous compliance testing of serial data interfaces, this instrument delivers industry-leading accuracy in jitter decomposition, eye diagram analysis, and timing measurements critical for PCI Express®, SATA, USB, and Ethernet protocols. Utilizing Wavecrest’s patented SDA II (Statistical Distribution Analysis) technology, the DTS-2079 isolates random and deterministic jitter components down to 0.3 ps RMS, enabling engineers to diagnose signal degradation in multi-gigabit designs. With a real-time bandwidth of 2.7 GHz and support for data rates up to 6.25 Gbps, this analyzer serves as an essential tool for R&D labs and manufacturing test floors, ensuring robust signal performance in servers, storage systems, and embedded computing platforms.

Main Features and Advantages
Advanced jitter separation: Patented SDA II algorithm decomposes jitter into spectral components using statistical tail-fitting, identifying resonance peaks from power supplies or crosstalk sources with 5x greater resolution than FFT-based methods. This enables precise root-cause analysis of signal integrity issues.
Protocol-aware validation: Pre-loaded templates for PCI Express Base 2.0 and SATA Revision 3.0 automate compliance testing, generating pass/fail reports with margin analysis. Integrated Clock Recovery Units (CRUs) support reference-less testing for embedded clock architectures.
High-sensitivity probing: The DTS-2079 includes Differential Active Probes with 100 kΩ impedance and <0>
Debugging efficiency: Simultaneous display of Bathtub curves, BER eye diagrams, and jitter spectra accelerates correlation of timing artifacts with physical layer defects. Multi-segment memory captures intermittent errors in burst-mode interfaces like SAS.
Application Field
The WAVECREST DTS-2079 is indispensable in high-speed digital validation:
Server/Storage: PCIe slot characterization, SAS HBA jitter margin validation
