| Use an Off-The-Shelf Signal Source as a Jitter/Wander Generator EDN > February 3, 2005 Ensuring that network products meet stringent timing specifications usually requires a specialized jitter/wander generator. This Design Idea, authored by Zarlink’s Slobodan Milijevic, describes using a standard function generator equipped with PM (phase modulation) or FM (frequency modulation) to measure jitter and wander tolerance as a substitute.

| Timing Redundancy in Telecommunication Systems DesignFax > January 13, 2005 In a typical telecommunication product, all cards are synchronized to the same clock. The failure of this clock disrupts the data traffic on all cards. To avoid this problem and increase network reliability, telecom products are designed with active and redundant clocks. In this article, Zarlink’s Slobodan Milijevic outlines the importance of clock redundancy, presents two methods (parallel and serial) used to implement timing redundancy, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches.
