Characterization of digitizer timebase jitter by means of the Allan variance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of the Allan variance for the characterization of the jitter timebase error in waveform digitizers is proposed. With this aim, the Allan variance is shown to be a sound basis for defining and measuring a suitable figure of merit, diagnosing the jitter noise type, and including a jitter error block into a previously proposed digitizer model. Experimental results highlighting the effectiveness of the Allan variance in the characterization of digitizer jitter error are discussed.

Accurate Spectral Estimation Based on Measurements with a Distorted-timebase Digitizer
The timebase distortion present in an equivalent-time sampling oscilloscope introduces errors in the estimation of the values of the spectral components of a microwave signal when a classical discrete Fourier transform is used. In this article a method is developed to avoid these errors. The method is tested both in practice and with simulations. Two parts can be distinguished. At first, the ti...

This paper describes the new method of time-interval-error (TIE) estimation and prediction. This method is very useful for standard clocks characterization and can be applied in high precision measurement and telecommunication systems with high resolution of the timebase. TIE can be easily and fast calculated using only two parameters obtained during calibration process. Moreover, it is very ...

A high frequency, low power 1:16 deserializer has been developed using the 0.25μm BiCMOS SiGe technology from ST Microelectronics to meet the ALMA project requirements. The input shift register is clocked at 4 GHz and the output data are transferred at 250 MHz. Nominal operation has been observed up to 8 GHz. With 2.5 V supply, the circuit dissipates around 650 mW an especially low value compar...
متن کاملModeling of Jitter Characteristics for the Second Order Bang-Bang CDR
Bang-Bang clock and data recovery (BBCDR) circuits are hard nonlinear systems due to the nonlinearity introduced by the binary phase detector (BPD). The specification of the CDR frequency response is determined by jitter tolerance and jitter transfer. In this paper, jitter transfer and jitter tolerance of the second-order BBCDR are characterized by formulating the time domain waveforms. As a re...
متن کاملAn overview of oscillator jitter
A basic measure of an oscillator’s performance is its frequency stability (or instability depending on one’s point of view). In the long term (timescales of days or years), we refer to frequency changes as aging. On moderate timescales (seconds), the stability of an oscillator is often characterized in terms of its Allan variance [1]. On short timescales (usually less than one second), frequenc...
