Eye pattern

Eye pattern
• This is a simple way to give a measure of how severe the ISI (as well as
noise) is. This pattern is generated by overlapping each signal-
element. Example: Binary system
Eye pattern
• Eye pattern is often used to monitoring the performance of baseband
signal. If the S/N ratio is high, then the following observations can be
made from the eye pattern.
• The best time to sample the received waveform is when the eye
opening is largest.
• The maximum distortion and ISI are indicated by the vertical width of
the two branches at sampling time.
• The noise margin or immunity to noise is proportional to the width of
the eye opening.
• The sensitivity of the system to timing errors is determined by the
rate of closure of the eye as the sampling time is varied.
