12、less. Variations occurring below this specified frequency are termed wander and are not addressed by this practice. 3.9 unit interval (UI): Abbreviated UI, it is the period of one clock cycle. It corresponds to the nominal minimum time between transitions of the serial signal. 4 Jitter specification

13、s Equipment jitter specifications fall into three categories: input jitter tolerance, jitter transfer, and intrinsic jitter. A fourth specification, output jitter, is a network specification and may be used to specify jitter limits at equipment interfaces. 4.1 Input jitter tolerance Input jitter tol

14、erance is the peak-to-peak amplitude of sinusoidal jitter that, when applied to an equipment input, causes a specified degradation of error performance. Input jitter tolerance is applicable to most serial inputs. 4.1.1 Input jitter tolerance requirements are specified with a jitter template that cov

15、ers a specified sinusoidal amplitude frequency region (see Fig. 1). This template represents the minimum amount of jitter that the equipment must accept without causing the specified degradation of error performance. Equipment meeting a jitter tolerance requirement must have an actual jitter toleran

16、ce greater than the requirement (see Fig. 2). 4.1.2 Input jitter tolerance requirements are specified with the parameters given in Table 1.

At least A2UI of peak-to-peak sinusoidal jitter shall be tolerated over this bandpass without exceeding the specified error criterion. 4.1.2.3 A1and A2shall be specified in UI. 4.1.2.4 The slop

21、e of the jitter tolerance requirement between f2and f3shall be 20 dB/decade. Frequencies f2and f3are related as follows: f2= f3/(A1/A2). 4.1.2.5 The criterion for reaching the onset of errors shall be specified. Either a BER limit or a maximum number of errored seconds over a specified measurement i

The terminology shall comply with 4.1.2. 4.2

23、 Jitter transfer Jitter transfer is jitter on the output of equipment resulting from applied input jitter. Jitter transfer is applicable to a device which produces a serial output from a serial input, such as a regenerator. Jitter transfer can also occur from reference signals applied to equipment,

24、such as analogue black burst. The jitter transfer templates described below are intended for serial input to serial output jitter transfer. 4.2.1 Jitter transfer requirements are specified with a template showing the maximum jitter gain as a function of frequency (see Fig. 3). Equipment meeting a ji

25、tter transfer requirement will have a jitter transfer function that lies within this template (see Fig. 4). 1363-03Pfcf1 20 dB/decade slopeJitter frequencyJittertransfergainFIGURE 3Jitter transfer templateRec.

ITU-R BT.1363-1 4.3 Intrinsic jitter and output jitter Intrinsic jitter and output jitter are both measurements of jitter at an equipment output. They differ in the specification of th

30、e input signal to the equipment. Except for this, they are measured identically. Intrinsic jitter is defined as the amount of jitter at an equipment output when a jitter-free input signal is applied. It is a measure of the amount of jitter generated in the equipment, independent of any jitter transf

31、er. Intrinsic jitter applies to most serial outputs. Output jitter is the amount of jitter at the output of equipment that is embedded in a system or network. It consists of intrinsic jitter and the jitter transfer of jitter at the equipment input. Output jitter is a network specification, not an eq

32、uipment specification. Individual equipment should be specified in terms of intrinsic jitter, jitter transfer, and input jitter tolerance. Network interface specifications may use output jitter. 4.3.1 Intrinsic and output jitter shall be specified as peak-to-peak quantities and measured over defined

33、 jitter frequency bands. Two measurement bands are specified, one is a subset of the other (see Fig. 5). 4.3.2 Intrinsic and output jitter shall be specified with the parameters given in Table 3. TABLE 3 Intrinsic and output jitter 4.3.2.1 The timing jitter measurement bandpass is formed by f1to f4.

34、 The maximum peak-to-peak jitter allowed over this bandpass is specified as A1. 4.3.2.2 The alignment jitter measurement bandpass is formed by f3to f4. The maximum peak-to-peak jitter allowed over this bandpass is specified as A2. 4.3.2.3 A1and A2shall be specified in unit intervals. 4.3.2.4 Bandpas

35、s slopes shall be at least 20 dB/decade and have a minimum phase response unless otherwise specified. Stop band rejection shall be at least 20 dB. Pass band ripple shall be less than +1 dB. 4.3.2.5 A measurement time (tm) may be specified. If this is omitted, then the measurement time will be determ

36、ined by the characteristics of the measurement system. 4.3.2.6 The test signal used for the measurement shall be specified. For an intrinsic jitter measurement, the test source jitter shall be negligible compared to the intrinsic jitter specification. Parameters Units Description Data rate (bits/s)

It is meaningful for clock extractor jitter measurement methods, but may not be applicable to other measurement techniques. 4.3.3 Numerical intrinsic and output jitter values are

ITU-R BT.1363-1 APPENDIX 1 Jitter measurement procedures in bit-serial digital interfaces 1 Scope This Appendix 1 describes methods for measuring jitter performance in bit-

41、serial digital interfaces. 1.1 Introduction Jitter is one of the most important parameters in the performance of serial digital transmission systems. It can cause errors in the transmission and recovery of digital data, and may degrade analogue signal performance if the jitter is transferred through

42、 the digital-to-analogue conversion process. Characterizing and measuring jitter are important for reliable and predictable serial digital system operation. 2 Informative references 3 Definitions 3.1 alignment jitter: Variation in position of a signals transitions relative to those of a clock extrac

48、ency. 3.13 output jitter: Jitter at the output of equipment that is embedded in a system network. It consists of intrinsic jitter and the jitter transfer of jitter at the equipment input. 3.14 phase demodulator: A device that provides as its output a signal proportional to the phase difference of tw

49、o input signals. 3.15 SDI: Acronym for serial digital interface, typically referring to Recommendation ITU-R BT.656 system. Rec. ITU-R BT.1363-1 9 3.16 timing jitter: Variation in position of a signals transitions occurring at a rate greater than a specified frequency, typically 10 Hz or less.
