ON-DEMAND WEBCAST – Registration required.

While jitter is a familiar measurement in transmitter testing, it can be defined very differently depending on the context. In this webinar we compare and contrast the meanings for telecom standards such as SONET/SDH/OTN with those for enterprise and storage. We explore eye diagram jitter compliance and the different philosophies behind bathtub jitter and the frequency banded jitter relied on in other standards. The implications for compliance and troubleshooting are illustrated with measurement examples.
