Discussion:
Reference [1] specifies the Transmitted Signal conformance limits for SATA products. Reference [2]
provides the definition of this term for the purposes of SATA testing. Reference [3] defines the
measurement requirements for this test.
The common mode signal is created by summing TX+ with TX- and dividing by two. It is imperative to
have completely deskewed the measurement inputs of the laboratory load out to the compliance point to
minimize any common mode components due to phase misalignment. AC common mode voltage is
measured in the frequency domain, using a Gaussian windowing method, similar to a spectrum analyzer.
Resolution bandwidth for this measurement is set to 1MHz. The span for the measurement of the
fundamental frequency at 3GHz is from -5350ppm to +350ppm relative to 3GHz. The span for the
measurement of the 2
nd
harmonic at 6GHz is from -5350ppm to +350ppm, relative to 6GHz.
This test requirement is only applicable to products running at 6Gb/s.
