Analysis and Equalization of Data-Dependent Jitter

Abstract

Data-dependent jitter limits the bit-error rate (BER) performance of broadband communication systems and aggra- vates synchronization in phase-and delay-locked loops used for data recovery. A method for calculating the data-dependent jitter in broadband systems from the pulse response is discussed. The impact of jitter on conventional clock and data recovery circuits is studied in the time and frequency domain. The deterministic nature of data-dependent jitter suggests equalization techniques su
