Lesson 1 - Introduction - Jitter Analysis Using Oscilloscopes
Confidently design and debug your high-speed digital systems by learning how to identify, visualize, and analyze sources of jitter. Knowing the different components of jitter becomes more important as signal speeds become faster. Understanding how to use different graphs and plots to both identify jitter sources and quickly analyze this data is a key skill for engineers working with digital systems. This course will explore different sources of jitter and how to view jitter on an oscilloscope using various methods that provide quick insight into the root cause of jitter in a system.
