Tektronix Launches MHL Compliance Test Solution

By DE Editors

Tektronix Inc. has unveiled support for a Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) compliance test solution that works with Tektronix DPO/DSA/MSO70000 Series Oscilloscopes.

Created by the MHL Consortium, the MHL specification is an HD video and digital audio interface for connecting mobile phones and portable devices to HDTVs and other home entertainment products. The Tektronix MHL test solution is based on the MHL Compliance Test Specification (CTS) 1.1 released in June, 2011.

The new Option MHD automates a range of MHL compliance tests, and the MHL Protocol Analyzer software leverages the same Tektronix real-time scope used for physical layer testing to provide a MHL protocol solution.

For MHL receiver and adapter tests, Tektronix provides a setup with all impairments added to the MHL signals using direct synthesis-based capabilities of the Tektronix AWG7000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators. Tektronix also offers an MHL cable test solution based on Time Domain Reflectrometry tests used with the DSA8300 Series Sampling Oscilloscope.
