Examples
Measure Waveform Jitter with Reference Waveform
This example shows how to measure edge jitter in oversampled time-domain waveform data, particularly waveforms produced by sampled data systems.
Load Data
Load the waveform data, including a waveform with jitter (tj
, yj
) and a reference waveform without jitter (tr
, yr
), from a file.
load("JitterPAM2.mat", "tj", "yj", "tr", "yr");
Measure Jitter
Use the function jitter()
to measure edge jitter in the waveform. Edge jitter characterizes trends in timing error, which is the time difference between any observed edge and the corresponding nominal or reference edge.
J = jitter(tj, yj, tr, yr, "Plot", "on")

The edge jitter is characterized by the following metrics:
TJ (Total Jitter) - Both Root-Mean-Square (RMS) or Peak-to-Peak (Pk-Pk) values are calculated directly from the timing error sequence.
DCD (Duty Cycle Distortion) - Odd/even DCD applies one timing offset to edges with odd indices and another to edges with even indices. The Pk-Pk is the difference between the larger and smaller of the two timing offset values.
SJ (Sinusoidal Jitter) - This metric captures sinusoidal trends in the timing error sequence. These are reported as the Amplitude (SJa), Frequency (SJf), and Phase (SJp) of a cosine.
ISI (Intersymbol Interference) - This metric correlates the jitter at each edge with the pattern before (and after) that edge in time. The result of this correlation is a Dirac delta function for each symbol/delay combination. Groups for each delay are convolved together to produce an estimate of a PDF for ISI. The RMS and Pk-Pk ISI metrics are derived from this PDF.
DDJ (Data Dependent Jitter) - The PDF estimate for DDJ is the result of convolution of the ISI and DCD PDF estimates.
DJ (Deterministic Jitter) - The PDF estimate for DJ is the result of convolution of the DDJ and SJ PDF estimates.
RJ (Random Jitter) - Is the residual jitter remaining in the system after DJ has been compensated. Random Jitter, unlike the other jitter metrics, is assumed to be unbounded and so only its RMS is reported.
Input Arguments
x
— Time coordinates of jittery signal
vector
Time coordinates of the jittery signal, specified as a monotonically increasing vector.
If you do not provide y
, the function interprets
x
as edge times.
Data Types: double
y
— Amplitude coordinates of jittery signal
vector | eyeDiagramSI
object
Amplitude coordinates of the jittery signal, specified as a vector or as an
eyeDiagramSI
object.
If you do not provide x
, the function assumes
y
is uniformly sampled at the rate specified by
SampleInterval
.
Data Types: double
xr
— Time coordinates of reference signal
vector
Time coordinates of the reference signal, specified as a monotonically increasing vector.
Data Types: double
Name-Value Arguments
Specify optional pairs of arguments as
Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN
, where Name
is
the argument name and Value
is the corresponding value.
Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the
pairs does not matter.
Example: J = jitter(x,y,SampleInterval = s, Plot = on)
calculates and
plots the histograms of the jitter metrics from the input waveform defined by
(x
,y
) and sample interval specified by
s
.
SymbolThresholds
— Thresholds to separate symbol levels in jittery waveform
vector
Thresholds to separate symbol levels in the jittery waveform, specified as a vector.
If you do not provide SymbolThresholds
, the function calculates it
from the histogram of y
.
Data Types: double
ReferenceThresholds
— Thresholds to separate symbol levels in reference waveform
vector
Thresholds to separate symbol levels in the reference waveform, specified as a vector.
If you do not provide ReferenceThresholds
, the function calculates
it from the histogram of yr
.
Data Types: double
SampleInterval
— Sample time for uniformly sampled jittery and reference waveforms
scalar
Sample time for uniformly sampled jittery and reference waveforms, specified as a scalar.
When you provide the time vectors of jittery and reference signals, the function
ignores SampleInterval
and uses time vectors instead.
Data Types: double
SymbolTime
— Symbol time for uniformly sampled jittery and reference waveforms
scalar
Symbol time for uniformly sampled jittery and reference waveforms, specified as a
scalar. For clock waveforms, SymbolTime
is half the of the

time
(default) | order
Options to compare the data edge to the clock edge, specified as one of these:
time
— Compares the closest edge times.order
— Compares the first edge on each set.
The function uses this argument in two scenarios only:
Both the measured and reference waveforms are clocks.
The measured waveform is a data waveform and the reference waveform is a clock waveform.
When both waveforms are data waveforms with the same pattern, the function matches the edges is based on the pattern.

If your data has aggressive decision feedback equalization, you can manually override
the channel delay compensation calculated by the jitter function and specify the delay

the reference waveform (xr
,yr
). A positive
Delaytime
indicates that a reference edge matches to an edge
later in time in the measured signal. A negative Delaytime
