Measurement Jitter
Test Description
A noise source is connected to the NFA’s input. The Analyzer then
measures linear Y-Factor over 100 samples. The standard deviation is
then calculated using the "non-biased" or "n-1" method. STDEV uses the
following formula:
Equation 2-2
The linear value is then converted to Log10 to give the Y-factor Standard
Deviation with no averaging.
Test Specification
Jitter with no averaging: Y-factor Standard Deviation <0.10dB
