With the development of high-performance digital communication technology, accurate measurement of digital signal time jitter is required in practical applications to ensure the normal operation of the system. At present, the commonly used measuring methods for digital signal time jitter mainly include frequency domain spectrum measurement and analysis methods and time domain high-speed sampling and calculation.
The spectrum measurement and analysis method comprises the steps of measuring the power spectral density of a periodic digital signal through a spectrum analyzer, separating the noise power spectral density from the power spectral density, and analyzing the noise power spectral density to obtain the time jitter characteristic of the signal.
