Test Adapters

The approach using the DTGM32 and the AFG allows

for thorough compliance and pre compliance testing

with a much simpler setup than the AWG method. 

This method was designed for pre/compliance testing

only since the maximum available jitter just meets

specification requirement. If testing is required above

the specification (as in characterization), then the

AWG method would be the recommended solution.

Reliable connections are key to maintaining precision

and signal integrity for all HDMI tests. There are two

types of test adapter sets available. For most of the

Sink tests devices, the plug-type adapters (TPA-P) set

and receptacle-type adapters (TPA-R) set are well 

suited for making the primary connection to the

Device-under-test (DUT). Figure 9 shows a TPA-P

plug-type test adapter.
