Jitter Tolerance Compliance
Jitter Tolerance Compliance - Concepts
The Jitter Tolerance Compliance test is used to ensure that the jitter
tolerance of the device under test complies with a certain standard.

The Jitter Tolerance Compliance measurement is a software option that requires a
license. For details on how to obtain and install such licenses refer to
Measurement Principle
The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) and other institutions have
proposed and published standards for testing the performance of data
receivers and receiver circuits in the presence of jitter.
These standards prescribe the required jitter tolerance over jitter
frequency. The jitter tolerance for each frequency bin is defined by a
jitter amplitude (normalized to the bit rate and hence specified in Unit
Intervals – UI) and a BER threshold which must not be exceeded.
A simple example is shown in the figure below:
Some standards are more detailed, as illustrated in the following figure:
