Abstract:

The purpose of this study and breadboard development program was to provide an understanding of the performance of networks which utilize equipment employing pulse stuffing synchronization. The study was divided into two phases. Phase I covered a analytical investigations of jitter characteristics, b recommended jitter specification formulation and c development of a breadboard testbed. Phase II covered testbed evaluation and experimentation. The Phase I study approach consisted of developing three tools to study the jitter problem a mathematical models,, b a software simulator and c a breadboard testbed. In Phase II RMS and peak-to-peak jitter data were collected and analyzed for various system design parameter inputs. The output data of the test and evaluation phase were compared with the analysis simulation results. Descriptions of the analysis tools, experiments, and results for both phases are included in this report. Author
