Abstract:
A test and measurement device includes an input for receiving a test waveform from a Device Under Test (DUT), where the test waveform has a plurality of input level transitions, a selector structured to respectively and individually extract only those portions of the test waveform that match two or more predefined patterns of input level transitions of the test waveform, a noise compensator structured to individually determine and remove, for each of the extracted portions of the waveform, a component of a jitter measurement caused by random noise of the test and measurement device receiving the test waveform, a summer structured to produce a composite distribution of timing measurements with removed noise components from the extracted portions of the test waveform, and a jitter processor structured to determine a first noise-compensated jitter measurement of the DUT from the composite distribution. Methods of determining noise-compensated jitter measurements are also disclosed.
