Gain new insights into Jitter Analysis

Using a single model-based approach

Current signal integrity measurement methods concentrate on eye patterns and analyzing the signal threshold crossing times to determine total jitter as well as all of its component parts. Rohde & Schwarz offers a new method that addresses the shortcomings of the current methods - namely non-stationarity and the root cause of DDJ which is among the most important sources of jitter. An overview of this method is presented and illustrated with measured results.
