  Abstract :

                A simple and intuitive derivation is presented of the relationship between the
                single sideband to carrier ratio and the timing jitter of the period of an oscillator.
                This link is then experimentally verified using a CMOS ring oscillator. 
                The timing jitter of the period was measured with a time to amplitude converter.

 

    Subject Terms :

  oscillators; experimental verification; timing jitter; phase noise; single sideband

                to carrier ratio; CMOS ring oscillator; time to amplitude converter; jitter period
                measurement; SSCR performance.
