Jitter Measurement and Timing Analysis

Understanding timing jitter has become a mandatory part of high-speed communications system design. Many of today’s serial data standards require extensive jitter compliance tests.  Whether you need a quick clock jitter measurement or a thorough analysis of a BER performance problem, Tektronix' comprehensive test instrumentation portfolio enables you to meet your design goals and compliance requirements – fast.

• DPOJET Jitter & Timing Analysis for Real-Time Oscilloscopes: DPOJET is a popular tool for debugging communications system designs to find the sources of timing/jitter issues. DPOJET adopts a flexible jitter measurement approach suitable for debug with a variety of clock recovery methods.   

• 80SJNB Jitter & Timing Analysis for Sampling Oscilloscopes: When used with the Tektronix DSA8300 Sampling Oscilloscope, 80SJNB analysis software performs timing and noise-based analysis to get a 3-D view of the eye diagram performance for deep, accurate evaluation on signals with speeds up to and beyond 50GHz.

• JMAP Jitter Mapping and Decomposition Analysis for BERTScope BSA Series: Unlike traditional BERT’s, the BERTScope utilizes unique JMAP analysis to provide jitter decomposition into its random and deterministic components for a deeper understanding of errors on long patterns.
