65 Mhz jitter measurement

One way is to compare a delayed signal and the non delayed signal in a mixer. The output of the mixer is the jitter signal.

Use a splitter to get two signals with the same phase. Use a section of able to delay one signal 45 degrees. Compare those signals using a double balanced mixer. The output signal the can be displayed on a scope or AC meter etc.

Good luck.

The 3054B has a very short memory and no statistics on the measurements it takes. It has a pretty high trigger jitter - around 300 ps or greater which is why the cleanest signal gets pretty wide and thick when you watch it with persistence turned on.

Perhaps you can rent or borrow a scope already programmed to take jitter measurements?

Agree, will be the best solution. I'm already looking around... The

Thanks!

For the purposes of comparison I would suggest a frequency domain measurements i.e. a synthesised receiver or spectrum analyzer or perhaps just a modulation meter. Look at the residual fm. conversion from frequency to time domain to be made employing Alan Variance. See mr Allen's excellent web page
