A clock waveform XC(t) is transformed into a complex analytic signal using a Hilbert transformer and an instantaneous phase of this analytic signal is estimated. A linear phase is subtracted from the instantaneous phase to obtain a varying term &Dgr;&phgr;(t). A difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the varying term &Dgr;&phgr;(t) is obtained as a peak-to-peak jitter, and a root-mean-square of the varying term &Dgr;&phgr;(t) is calculated to obtain an RMS jitter.

摘要:
An input clock signal is transformed into a complex analytic signal zc(t) by an analytic signal transforming means 13 and an instantaneous phase of its real part xc(t) is estimated using the analytic signal zc(t). A linear phase is removed from the instantaneous phase to obtain a phase noise waveform &Dgr;&phgr;(t). A peak value &Dgr;&phgr;max of absolute values of the &Dgr;&phgr;(t) is obtained, and 4&Dgr;&phgr;max is defined as the worst value of period jitter of the input signal. The &Dgr;&phgr;(t) is sampled at a timing close to a zero-crossing point of the xc(t) to extract the sample value. A differential between adjacent samples is obtained in the sequential order to calculate a root-mean-square value of the differentials (period jitters). An exp(−(2&Dgr;&phgr;max)2/(2&sgr;j2)) is calculated from the mean-square value &sgr;j and 2&Dgr;&phgr;max, and the calculated value is defined as a probability that a period jitter exceeds 2&Dgr;&phgr;max.

There is provided a method and an apparatus for detecting a delay fault in a phase-locked loop circuit. A frequency impulse is applied to the PLL circuit under test as a reference clock, and a waveform of a signal outputted from the PLL circuit under test is transformed to an analytic signal to estimate its instantaneous phase. A linear phase is estimated from the estimated instantaneous phase, and the estimated linear phase is removed from the estimated instantaneous phase to obtain a fluctuation term of the instantaneous phase. A delay fault is detected by comparing a time duration during which the PLL circuit stays in a state of oscillating a certain frequency with the time duration during which a fault-free PLL circuit stays in a state of oscillating a certain frequency.
