CHARACTERIZATION OF DIGITIZER TIMEBASE JITTER BY MEANS OF THE ALLAN VARIANCE

Pasquale Arpaia, Pasquale Daponte, Sergio Rapuano
  • Abstract:
    The use of the Allan variance for the characterization of the jitter timebase error in waveform digitizers is proposed. With this aim, the Allan variance is shown to be a sound basis for defining and measuring a suitable figure of merit, diagnosing the jitter noise type, and including a jitter error block into a previously proposed digitizer model. Experimental results highlighting the effectiveness of the Allan variance in the characterization of digitizer jitter error are discussed.
