  • Abstract
    This paper describes and compares two methods for producing digital test signals up to 24 Gbps. Prototypes are experimentally characterized to determine signal quality, and the two methods are demonstrated and compared. The residual timing errors are dominated by jitter. Typical random jitter (RJ) is about 1.17ps to 1.4ps (RMS) including system measurement errors for the two methods. Deterministic Jitter (DJ) is between 2.4ps and 8.5ps. Total jitter (TJ) ranges between 18.9ps and 28.2ps at a bit-error-rate BER=10-12.
