Abstract: | While digital signals tend to be more immune to noise as measured in analog systems, other noise related phenomena such as bit errors can cause problems which are equally as undesirable. This paper addresses one such noise artifact which is jitter in a digital bit stream. While the typical method of measuring jitter is with a sampling oscilloscope, a new technique using modulation domain analyzers was used. This method allows direct measurement of the spectral content of jitter. This technique has been used in the telecommunications industry and examples of their specifications are provided |
