DDPWS (Data Dependent Pulse Width Shrinkage)
DDPWS is the amount of pulse width shrinkage by data dependent jitter.
Figure 1.5-6 DDJ Measurement Method
In Figure 1.5-6, the red line is the ideal symbol waveform and the blue
line is the measured waveform with jitter. Let t

the blue line at the cross point, and let the time differences between the
red line and the blue line be
