Jitter In CTDSM
Aug 13^th, 2008, 10:33pm

Hello friends, Its realy great to find a good site for analog designers !! :)

Well, i am working on CTDSM, and was trying to make sure that my CTDSM will nt be degraded enough by jitter.

For that right now, i am using SIMULINK. The problem is that to model the jittery clock, i need to generate pink noise (1/f) noise. and i am unable to generate it in MATLAB or SIMULINK. If anybody has already worked on it. Please help me out !!

Thanks !!

Hi Tosei,

Be careful !!! Integrating white noise does not give 1/f noise. It gives 1/f^2 noise. However, I think this post is in the wrong forum. It ought to be in the behavioral modelling forum. I remember having seen some discussion long ago on generating pink noise there, but can't find the thread.

Just drive a fracpole with white noise and it will color it pink. Spectre has a fracpole built in. Or you can use the FracPole suite on http://www.designers-guide.org/Modeling/. -Ken

Hi viks_iisc,

If you use simulink, there is a toolbox named SDtoolbox. SDtoolbox is developed by A. Fornasari, P. Malcovati and available at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=7589&ob....

It has simulink model for jittered sinewave and colored noise. It is easy to use although I don't understand the algorithm.

Furthermore, I don't think you need to generate pink noise (1/f) for modeling the jittered clock. Perhaps it is good enough to assume a gaussian distribution random jittered clock.

Best regards,
Yawei

Hi Yawei,

Correct me if I�m wrong but I think that 1/f noise can also be gaussian distributed, so both features are not necessarily contradictory.

Intuitively, I thought 1/f noise is not Gaussian distributed. However, it has not solid base and proper reasoning. So I agree with you now. It is possible to generate a 1/f noise whose amplitude is Gaussian distributed. Thank you. Yawei
