Vinod, I'd like to offer some advice, but first I would ask what 
Clock-Data-Recovery are you using? 
The behavior you describe is easily achievable by having a slight error in 
frequency (bit rate). For whichever 
method you use repeating or arbitrary, you will get the same behavior for such 
a case.

I presented a paper at DesignCon last week on precisely the subject of 
increasing Rj with increasing PRBS
lengths. That paper concerns much longer test patterns than you are using.

Hi All,
Sorry for not mentioning few details. My mistake. Below are the same.

Scope: Real time
BW: 12.5GHz
Sampling rate : 100Gs/s
Record length used: 1M
Time base setting: 1us/div
Signal fed: PRBS 11 and 2.5GHz clock

Below are the few observation which i could make in last 2 days in process
of finding out dependency of Rj on data pattern.

1) In Jitter decomposition software, when i set the Pattern type
as Arbitrary (when capturing PRBS pattern) and Window length as 2UI, i see
that the Rj value is very near to Rj value measured with clock pattern. I
understand that the technique used to separate Rj Dj is different if we set
Pattern type as Arbitrary or Repeating. Does it mean that algorithm used
for Arbitrary pattern converges to Repeating pattern algorithm when we set
the window length as 2UI?

2) As i increase the window length for arbitrary pattern setting from 2UI
to 5UI, the Rj
 vaule keeps increasing dramatically. But Dj value seems to
be pretty much constant. Dj not increasing implies ISI is fully captured,
but Rj increasing not sure !!!

3) As the number of samples considered (Record length) increases, both Rj
Dj increases. Most of measurements are taken with Record length of 1M, but
if i make it 10M with all other settings remaining same, i see that Rj and
Dj both give very high readings.
Is there any rule which says what should be the record length for certain
type of jitter measurement?

4) I see minor difference in readings of Rj Dj when using Real time
sampling compared to Interpolated real time sampling. Is this expected?

Regards
Vinod A H
