46、 this value.JEDEC Publication No. 152Page 14Annex A Measuring equipment jitterThe basic idea is simple, and it is worth stating outside the definition of the precise steps comprising the method. It is to measure the jitter between two channels while presenting the same (analog) clock or data signal

47、to both of the input channels.The beauty of this concept is that it is simple and unpretentious. Everyone can easily grasp that at the actual point(s) probed, there can be no jitter between the point and itself. The only difference between the two channels is therefore the probes, the scope channel

48、amplifiers and the two different recording devices (presumably ADCs). As such, in a perfect world there should be no jitter, and therefore in the real world the jitter that is observed is jitter due to the measurement (apparatus and method) itself. Now, beware, that does not mean that the measured jitter “is” exactly the jitter introduced by the instrument. It is indeed closely related, but it s not exactly equal to this, as will be shown.
