8.10.3 SRTS T1 Clock
20
The T1 SRTS clock jitter was measured using a 2 -1 PRBS pattern in unstructured mode.
Two AAL1gator IIs were connected to each other across a point to point ATM connection. One
AAL1gator II was used to generate SRTS values, and the other AAL1gator II was used to receive
the values. The source AAL1gator II was connected to a FIREBERD, which used an external
signal generator as its clock source. The clock source was stepped across the entire ± 200 ppm
range and the jitter was measured at the FIREBERD connected to the AAL1gator II at the
receiving end. A jitter spectrum was then taken at the frequency that exhibited the worst jitter.
The total maximum jitter without the jitter attenuator was 1.91 UI. With a jitter attenuator the
maximum jitter was 0.26 UI, other than a spike at - 200 ppm. See Figure 100 through Figure 103
on page 190 for jitter versus frequency and the jitter spectrum versus the G.824 mask.
