Jitter And Phase Noise
As data rate increases, effect of jitter becomes critical
with its budget tighter. Jitter is the deviation of a timing
event of a signal from its ideal position. Jitter is
complex and is composed of both random jitter (RJ) and
deterministic jitter (DJ) components.
Random Jitter (RJ) is theoretically unbounded and
Gaussian in distribution, while Deterministic Jitter (DJ)
is bounded and does not follow any predictable
distribution.
Q-Tech utilizes the EZJIT Plus jitter analysis software
with Noise reduction software that supports Agilent
Infinium real-time oscilloscope. Measure at its
maximum sampling rate 40Gs/s and memory depth, we
can separate the signal’s aggregate total jitter into
Random Jitter (RJ) and Deterministic Jitter (DJ).
Since Random Jitter is unbounded and Gaussian in
style, the Total Jitter is a function of Bit Error Rate
(BER).
