Application relevance of clock jitter
Clock Jitter is commonly used to describe the performance requirements of oscillators and PLLs when driving high performance components like FPGAs, Microprocessors, and PHYs. But the plethora of clock jitter types, measurement methodologies, and corresponding specifications is broad and often leads to confusion. It is important to use the jitter type that is most appropriate […]
RF bandpass filter for intelligent transport systems complies to 3GPP
CTS Electronic Components, Inc. introduces a surface-mount RF bandpass filter for use in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) including 802.11p for wireless access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DRSC). The CTS TCB001A bandpass filter supports 2W of average RF output power at the antenna and is a necessary component to ensure compliance […]
Clock jitter attenuator optimizes serial interface functionality in base station designs
Analog Devices introduced a high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs.
