13 Summary of the past Phase noise has been historically modeled by a power-law spectrum With this model, a pathology exists where the classical variance does not converge in the presence of prevalent device-oriented pink noise The Allan variance was introduced to address this mathematical pathology The Allan variance is utilized predominately in the high-precision (e.g., atomic and optical) clock space and for long averaging intervals 13 of 50

15 Fast-forward to the present Though there exists a pathology, does a practical convergence issue exist? Is it a result of the model? After all, the nd jitter difference converges for pink noise (i.e. is not pathological) and may have bounded relationships to the 1 st jitter difference In modern industry, the 1 st jitter difference (period jitter) and nd jitter difference (c-c jitter) are reported for nearly all frequency control devices for microelectronics Both are the most useful and intuitive to modern electronics system design and particularly in wireline links Lastly, measurement equipment unavailable in the 1960 s is now commonly utilized to report jitter (e.g. GSa/s realtime oscilloscopes) Historical Modern Goals Theory Experimental Conclusions 15 of 50

20 Observations on time-domain metrics Allan variance is not reported for any device Period jitter (1 st jitter difference) is reported but theoretically non-convergent in the presence of flicker of frequency noise Cycle-to-cycle ( nd jitter difference) jitter is reported Peak-to-peak jitter is unbounded, but reported without a bounding cycle count Instrumentation type and measurement BW are not disclosed Despite the elegant historical treatment of frequency stability, historical metrics are not used in this segment of industry Historical Modern Goals Theory Experimental Conclusions 0 of 50
21 GOALS FOR THIS WORK Historical Modern Goals Theory Experimental Conclusions 1 of 50
22 Goals for this work Theory Can we relate T and T is a meaningful manner? If T converges in time and in the presence of flicker of frequency noise, what does that imply? Experimental Can the analytical relation of phase noise to T be confirmed by measurement? Can T and T be reconciled with the two common measurement techniques (sampling and real-time)? Overall Reconcile the historical treatment of stability with that which is common in this segment of industry Historical Modern Goals Theory Experimental Conclusions of 50

28 Observations The nd jitter difference ( T ) is related to the 1 st jitter difference ( T ) by both an upper and lower bound; exceeding these bounds is non-theoretical The lower bound is attained in the presence of white of frequency noise where each period in the sequence {T k } is independent and identically distributed If the nd jitter difference exceeds the lower bound, it is due to memory from the underlying noise process and the covariance between samples is non-zero and negative 8 of 50
29 An aside on RMS and peak jitter Although T and T converge for white noise and T converges for flicker noise, the distribution of the underlying process is unbounded Therefore, peak-to-peak (p-p) jitter can only be specified by considering a bounding cycle count (i.e. number of observations) Though this can be measured in practice, it is far more practical to measure sufficient cycles for T and T to converge and then compute peak jitter for a bounding cycle count 9 of 50

46 Comments on results Integration of phase noise measurements Order of magnitude is consistent with time-domain Integrated jitter for SSO is higher than in time-domain, but is because SSO did not reach its noise floor Most integrated jitter noise is near the fundamental; then integration is highly dependent of noise floor Time-domain measurements Good agreement was found between DSO and RTO T did not violate predicted bounds, but was closer to upper bound, thus indicating presence of flicker noise Convergence was observed because sample interval is small with these measurement techniques; effectively, the pathology is filtered by a HPF 46 of 50
47 CONCLUSIONS Historical Modern Goals Theory Experimental Conclusions 47 of 50
48 Conclusions A review of the historical treatment of short-term frequency stability was presented Short-term frequency stability metrics common to industry were motivated and presented Bounds relating T and T were presented Experimental results were presented relating phase noise to T and for T and T using two different measurement techniques for two different free-running oscillators (XO and SSO) Reasonable agreement was found across all approaches Historical Modern Goals Theory Experimental Conclusions 48 of 50
49 Open questions With these measurement approaches, T converges because the observation interval is short for each capture; but T is still theoretically divergent Does it matter? For most commercial applications, the interface is reset often; long timekeeping is not necessary; but then measured jitter becomes instrumentation-dependent How can we relate the historical work with what is common practice in industry now? How can the mathematical pathology be reconciled? This segment of industry needs to standardize on metrics and measurement techniques; currently, there is no standard metrology Historical Modern Goals Theory Experimental Conclusions 49 of 50
