3T Jitter Measurement Test
Items Required
The following items are required:
• Synthesized signal generator
• Frequency range: 720 kHz to 10 MHz
• Output level: 720 mVrms or more
• Recommended instrument: Synthesized signal generator 8657B (Agilent
Technologies)
• 50-
Ω
terminator
Recommended device: 700976 (YOKOGAWA)
The procedure for testing the 3T jitter measurement using the recommended
instruments is described below.
Connecting the Instrument
• Check that the power switch is turned OFF on all instruments before connecting
them.
• Connect the output of the synthesized signal generator to the RF input connector of
the TA120E through the 50-
Ω
terminator.
