The TEM Module’s oscillator, when tuned to a highly accurate synchronization source,
can be used as a precise reference clock when analyzing wander or jitter on the 5800v2
test instrument. Specific applications include:
•
Analyzing the wander between two 1 PPS signals to ensure that a primary and
backup timing mechanism are adequately synchronized.
•
Analyzing the wander between a a 1PPS signal under test and the 1 PPS signal
received by the satellite.
•
Analyzing the wander between a 1 GigE Optical Synchronous Ethernet signal and
a TEM Module with an oscillator that has been tuned to provide a precise timing
reference.
•
Analyzing the wander or jitter between an electrical PDH signal and a TEM
Module with an oscillator that has been tuned to provide a precise timing refer-
ence.
Instructions for analyzing 1 PPS and SyncE wander are provided in the
Ethernet, IP,
TCP/UDP, Fibre Channel, VoIP, and Video Testing Manual
that shipped with your
instrument or upgrade.
Instructions for analyzing wander or jitter on electrical PDH signals are provided in the
PDH, SONET, SDH, NextGen, and OTN Testing Manual
that shipped with your instru-
ment or upgrade. This manual also provides an appendix that explains basic jitter and
wander principles, and describes the measurements that are available when testing
jitter and wander using instruments that are optioned and configured to do so.
For details on the device and interface standards for measuring jitter and wander, refer
to
ITU-T Recommendations O.172 and O.173
.
Warming up the oscillator
The rubidium oscillator in the TEM Module needs to warm up before it can tune to a
synchronization source. If the TEM Module is connected to a 5800v2 test instrument
and you configured the TEM Module to turn the oscillator on by default whenever you
turn on the test instrument (
“Specifying oscillator and timing settings” on page 29
oscillator will start to warm up as soon as you turn the 5800v2 on. If you configured the
NOTE: 1 PPS Wander Analysis
If your TEM Module is optioned to do so, you can put the TEM into 1PPS Anal-
ysis mode, then perform highly accurate wander analysis using the supporting
application provided on the TEM. For details, see
NOTE:
Test instruments must be configured and optioned to support Wander or Jitter
Analysis. Due to intense resource requirements, and the duration of time
required for useful wander analysis, wander applications must be run
exclusively. We recommend providing AC power to your test instrument for the
duration of wander tests.
