If you've been keeping track of our history of jitter, we left off in Part 2 in the late 1990s, by which time bit-error rates (BER) had become a predominant statistic ...

Today's methods for BER (bit-error-rate) testing of high-speed serial links such as PCIe and SATA rely on predetermined patterns that don't represent real-world situations. These patterns use a ...

If you look at the current literature and today’s products, the most troublesome characteristic to measure seems to be jitter. The formal definition of jitter, given in the Sonet specifications ...

This translates into highly accurate timing positioning for the BER measurements used in estimating total jitter (TJ) at the 10-12 level.� Tektronix also can display what the company calls a ...

and timing jitter reduction. These schemes can be used to restore the optical signal in long-haul fibre transmission and improve the BER at the receiver. The ER improvement and switching ...

A new CDR *5 that utilizes the characteristics of PAM 4 to improve jitter characteristics eliminates ... and also that it is possible to obtain a BER *6 of less than 10-12. Moving forward, the ...

Today's methods for BER (bit-error-rate) testing of high-speed serial links such as PCIe and SATA rely on predetermined patterns that don't represent real-world situations. These patterns use a ...
