Abstract

Jitter is a critical parameter in high speed data communication channels. A new jitter measurement technique utilizing a high bandwidth undersampling voltage measurement instrument is presented. This type of undersampling instrument is common in mixed-signal ATE. The advantages of this new technique over other traditional jitter measurement techniques are: bandwidth, ease of use, and throughput
