D-to-C Jitter Measurement and Phase Adjustment Test
Items Required
The following items are required:
• Synthesized signal generator
• Frequency range: 720 kHz to 25 MHz
• Output level: 720 mVrms or more
• Recommended instrument: Synthesized signal generator 8657B (Agilent
Technologies)
• Power divider
• Characteristic impedance: 50
Ω
• Recommended device: 700966 (YOKOGAWA)
• 50-
Ω
terminator
Recommended device: 700976 (YOKOGAWA)
The procedure for testing the D-to-C jitter measurement and phase adjustment
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 power divider and 50-
Ω
terminators. The cables used to
connect the power divider to the RF input and clock input connectors of the
TA120E must be the same length.
