Jitter Measurements for CLK Generators or Synthesizers - AN2744

Clock (CLK) generators and synthesizers form the pulse of a complex digital system and errors in a clock's signal quality can have wide-ranging effect. One of the most important performance measurements is clock jitter. Jitter is defined as "the short-term variation of a signal with respect to its ideal position in time." In a clock generator chip, there are many factors which contribute to out...

Statistical and System Transfer Function Based Method For Jitter and Noise In Communication Design and Test

As the communication speed/data rate approaches 1 Gb/s and beyond, timing jitter and amplitude noise become the major limiting factors for system performance. Traditional methods used in simulating, analyzing, modeling, and quantifying jitter and noise in terms of peak-to-peak and/or rms becomes no longer accurate and sufficient. As such, new methods with better accuracy and comprehension are c...

Extraction of Instantaneous and RMS Sinusoidal Jitter Using an Analytic Signal Method

This paper describes a new method for extracting both instantaneous and rms sinusoidal jitter from phase-locked loops (PLL) output signals. The method is based on analytic signal theory and utilizes the Hilbert transform to extract phase information from a PLL signal. Both the theoretical basis and fundamental concepts of the new method are explained. A unified review of conventional methods is...
