Q: What is the differenc between SJ and PJ?5 T) m! R" w m1 ^# N
/ Q; O! A% ?" i2 C' O* K5 K% cA: The SJ generation uses an IQ modulator, PJ the voltage controlled delay line. Use SJ for low frequency jitter (up to a few MHz) with high amplitudes (max is a function of the frequency, up to a thousand ui at low freqs). Use PJ for high frequency jitter (up to 300MHz) with low amplitudes (max 200ps). PJ offers more waveforms (sinusoidal, rectangular and triangular), SJ is always sinusoidal.

If you need to test the jitter tolerance behavior of a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) or Clock/Data Recovery (CDR) however, you want to use a simple test signal with a well defined jitter frequency content. Sinusoidal jitter is perfect for that, and as a bonus it's fairly easy to generate. The use of "artificial" SJ for these t&m application goes back to the SONET standard.

In real world sinusoidal jitter may be caused by cross talk from a clock signal. |
