Many clock-recovery circuits produce a repetitive, predictable jitter. This effect is particularly noticeable in cheesy clock-multiplier circuits and poorly equalized data-recovery units. The name for ...

Designing high-speed links? You own the interconnect—and the risk. Learn how to spot and solve SerDes signal integrity issues ...

As clock speeds in communications systems push into the GHz range, phase noise and jitter — always key issues in analog designs — are becoming increasingly critical to the performance of digital chips ...

On an oscilloscope's eye-pattern diagram, the distance between peak deterministic and random jitter amplitudes (the unit interval, or UI) is often called a "bathtub," which functions as a ...

Course Objective: To provide a baseline level of understanding necessary for successful research and development using electromagnetic waves in remote sensing and telecommunications. The course covers ...

Controlling the flux of photons is crucial in many areas of science and technology. Artificial materials with nano-scale modulation of the refractive index, such as photonic crystals, are able to ...
