Thanks Gert. Really helps :-). Also thanks to all for all the offline emails on explanation of increase in Rj. Below URL provided by Marty Miller explains about apparent increase in Rj. FYI http://cdn.teledynelecroy.com/files/whitepapers/designcon2013_understanding_apparent_increasing_random_jitter_with_increasing_prbs_test_pattern_lengths.pdf Regards Vinod A H On Fri, Jul 5, 2013 at 2:39 PM, Havermann, Gert <Gert.Havermann@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Vinod, > > there is the so called Data Dependent Jitter which somewhat relates to the > worst case pattern used in BERT.
