Model and Measure Jitter in Serial Data Systems

Since R2026a

This example shows how to model waveform jitter in a serial data system using MATLAB^® and Simulink^®. The example starts with the modeling and measuring jitter using MATLAB and discusses the various jitter metrics in detail. The second part discusses the mechanics of accomplishing the same impairments and measurements in Simulink.
