Anyone involved in fiber optic communications continuously hears people talk about random jitter. Random jitter is one of those terms like broadband that has meaning to people who are skilled in the ...

Many clock-recovery circuits produce a repetitive, predictable jitter. This effect is particularly noticeable in cheesy clock-multiplier circuits and poorly equalized data-recovery units. The name for ...

Jitter can seriously degrade system operation but, as Lee Morgan explains, characterising and troubleshooting jitter on embedded systems has become a lot easier. Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded ...

In digital, analog, and RF communications systems, jitter plays a large role in the degradation of signal integrity. This can include a reduced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or effective number of bits ...

A new approach to jitter testing has been devised for leading-edge systems. It takes a spectral view of the jitter that not only allows immediate identification of the sources for debugging but also ...

Volumes have been written about jitter, an indication of the complexity associated with timing uncertainty. Actually, timing errors are easy to measure. It is in the assignment of blame that the ...

Whether you are sitting at a computer, working on a tablet, talking or surfing on a cell phone, sending data over a network, performing digital signal analysis, or controlling an industrial robot, ...
