Abstract

We reviewed the roles that jitter and signaling plays in a high speed communication link. We then discuss the testing and verification methods for the link components of transmitter, receiver, medium, and reference clock. The latest statistical plus system transfer function based jitter and signaling test methods are introduced. In the end, we will introduce specific jitter and signaling testing requirements and associated testing methods for high speed communication standards such as PCI Express (PCIe), fibre channel (FC), and Giga Bit Ethernet (GBE)
