Abstract
A jitter determination method for determining at least one random jitter component of an input signal is described, wherein the input signal is generated by a signal source, comprising: receiving the input signal; determining a time interval error associated with the random jitter component; determining at least one statistical moment of the time interval error based on the determined time interval error, wherein the order of the statistical moment is two or larger; at least one of determining an impulse response based on the input signal and receiving the impulse response, the impulse response being associated with at least the signal source; and determining the standard deviation of the random jitter component based on at least one of the determined statistical moment and the determined impulse response. Moreover, a measurement instrument is described.
