New methods for receiver internal jitter measurement

We have developed three receiver internal deterministic jitter (DJ) and random jitter (RJ) measurement methods through external DJ stressing, RJ stressing, or sampling time shifting. High throughput jitter tolerance tests utilizing the receiver internal DJ and RJ are presented. Analytical formulas for receiver DJ and RJ estimation have been developed. Relevant simulations and laboratory experiments have been conducted and the validity for the methods has been verified. We have also shown that a 6 orders of magnitude reduction in test time can be achieved with a good statistical confidence with the proposed methods.
