Eye width is UI-Tj(BER). Sigtest and oscilloscopes use the dual dirac method to extrapolate Tj@BER. They dont actually measure it, especially for BER=10e-12. Tj(BER) = 2*Qber*Rj+Dj. Tj(pp) is not useful to calculate eye width due to the Rj distribution having unbounded behavior. Check this app note for additional details. You will find the values of Qber here. http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5989-3206EN.pdf Thanks Gabriel On Dec 6, 2013 4:11 AM, vinod ah <ah.vinod@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have basic query on jitter.
