    Stress Calibration for Jitter >1UI
    While measuring the amount of jitter present on a signal is relatively straight forward conceptually; when the levels of jitter are small, amounts above a bit period (1 unit interval or UI) can be more difficult. This has practical consequences for …

    Stressed Eye: “Know What You’re Really Testing With”
    BER-based measurements can provide a better view of the stress eye opening down at the deep BER levels that the receiver will be expected to operate at when it is tested.
    Primer
    Clock Recovery Primer, Part 2
    Abstract Clock recovery is a common part of many measurements, whether as part of the test setup or part of the device under test. We’re going to look at clock recovery from a practical point of view, with emphasis on how it affects …

    Comparing Jitter Using a BERTScope® Bit Error Rate Testing
    Introduction In most systems, it is desirable to have each data bit have the same duration (see Figures 1(a) and 2(d)). When bits vary in length, either randomly or systematically, this is known as jitter. One traditional form of …
