Antonio J. Soares Florida A&M University
Antonio Soares was born in Luanda, Angola, in 1972. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in Tallahassee, Florida in December 1998. He continued his education by obtaining a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in December of 2000 with focus on semiconductor devices, semiconductor physics, Optoelectronics and Integrated Circuit Design. Antonio then worked for Medtronic as a full-time Integrated Circuit Designer until November 2003. Antonio started his pursuit of the Doctor of Philosophy degree at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in January 2004 under the supervision of Dr. Reginald Perry. Upon completion of his Ph.D., Dr. Soares was immediately hired as an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Electronic Engineering Technology department at FAMU. Dr. Soares has made many contributions to the department, from curriculum improvements, to ABET accreditation, and more recently by securing a grant with the department of education for more than half a million dollars.
Abstract
Measuring the Jitter of Clock SignalIn the digital transmission system, jitter is a very important and less well known phenomenon.With the clock frequency in digital system becomes higher and higher, jitter is having moreeffect on the digital transmission system. Thus it is very important to find a way to measure jitter.This paper introduces the concept of jitter and the effect it has on the digital system. It comparesthe analog and digital methods to measure jitter. The corresponding international standard (ITU)on jitter is also introduced. It then proposed a scheme to measure the jitter of a fixed frequency(2.048MHz) PLL clock signal. This scheme uses digital method with DSP as the core. It alsoemploys CPLD in its implementation. This method has the advantage of being simple but at thesame time easy to implement.
