T
he IEEE Technical Committee 10 (TC-10), the Waveform
Generation, Measurement, and Analysis
Committee of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement
(I&M) Society, seeks to support the advancement of
industries and other entities that research, develop, manufacture,
and use technologies and instruments that generate or
acquire signals. These signals are used in most if not all interfaces
between humans and technology, such as, but not limited
to, communication, computing, transportation, medicine, entertainment,
manufacturing, and agriculture. In fact, it is very
difficult to identify a human activity, other than the primitive,
that is not in some way touched by electronics. So, in the broadest
interpretation of the goal of the TC-10, it could be said that
the TC-10 impacts everyone. Because the TC-10 is a developer
of documentary standards, the TC-10's goal is achieved
by fulfilling, as best as possible, the global need for standardized
terms, test methods, and computational methods that
are used to describe and
measure the parameters
that describe the performance
of signal generators
and waveform recorders
and analyzers. The
TC-10 has developed and
maintains the following
documentary standards:
IEEE Std 181-2011, Standard
on Transitions, Pulses,
and Related Waveforms
[1]; IEEE Std 1057-2017,
Standard for Digitizing
Waveform Recorders [2];
IEEE Std 1241-2010, Standard
for Terminology and
Test Methods for Analog-to-Digital
Converters
[3]; IEEE Std 658-2011,
Standard for Terminology
and Test Methods for
November 2021
Digital-to-Analog Converters [4]; the IEEE Std 1696-2013,
Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Circuit Probes
[5]; and the IEEE Std 2414-2020, Standard for Jitter and Phase
Noise [6]. Additional information on these standards can be
found in [7].
The TC-10 comprises over 50 members from around the
globe (as exhibited by the time-zone member distribution of
Fig. 1), with the majority in Western Europe and the United
States. The members are an international group of electronics
engineers, mathematicians, professors and physicists with
representatives from national metrology laboratories, national
science laboratories, component manufacturers, the test instrumentation
industry, academia, and end users. Developing
standards in the fields of the TC-10 means being at the forefront
of the transfer of knowledge from research to manufacturing
and vice versa. For academicians, it is an excellent opportunity
to interact with industry and learn of their technical
