A jitter characterization system using a component-invariant Vernier delay line.

Jitter characterization has become significantly more important for systems running at multigigahertz data rates. Time and frequency domain characterization of jitter is thus a crucial element for system specification testing. Time domain jitter measurement on a data signal with subgate timing resol...
