11. Tektronix Confidential11 Why is Jitter Noise Floor important?  JNF establishes the lower limit of jitter measurements you can make using the oscilloscope.  Includes effects of noise, aperture uncertainty, time base stability, and interleaving error.  High Performance Real Time oscilloscopes have software that extracts the clock from serial data post-capture –JIT3v2, RT-Eye™v2  Time Interval Error (T.I.E.) measures the timing of all edges captured in the memory.  How is JNF measured on a real signal? A very stable clock is acquired. The T.I.E of all edges is measured. The standard deviation of this TIE is the JNF, the lower limit of jitter measurements on this scope.  Like any real measurement, the characteristics of the device measured effect the results.  High speed clock directly from the BERT is used. –Sine waves are not valid because they do not represent fast edges. –Data signals are not valid because they include data-dependent jitter.
