DAC SNR
Feb 09th, 2010, 12:28am
 
I am currently simulating the effects of jitter on the dac output.  I want to see how much noise is contributed and then see the corresponding SNR.  I have been reading the paper with the equation of 2*pi^2*fin^2*A^2*sigma^2.  When I calculate the noise power using the equation, my results are quite different from my simulated noise power.  The theoretical results are 2 orders of magnitude smaller.

My simulation setup is just using the an ideal verilog dac with the fixed frequency oscillator with accumulating jitter as the clock.  Then i take the fft in matlab and calculate the power and subtract out the signal, dc, and harmonics.

I was wondering if this is even the right type of jitter?  The paper specifies gaussian random jitter.  
Also the sigma I am assuming is the standard deviation of the period.

The paper title is clock jitter induced distortion in high speed cmos switched current segmented digital to analog converters.
