Abstract

This work presents a new process to measure the signal jitter, caused by noise, in a communication system. First, we show some conventional jitter measurers and afterwe present the new proposed process. We will test the newjitter measurer on the analog PLL (Phase Lock Loop). The objective is to certify the new process, showing that theresults obtained with it are coherent with the theoretical andexperimental values, available for the analog PLL. We showthe output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Squared)as function of the input SNR (Signal to Noise Rate).
