Abstract

A measuring apparatus for measuring reliability against jitter of an electronic device, including: a jitter tolerance estimator operable to estimate a jitter tolerance of the electronic device based on an output signal output from the electronic device according to an input signal input through a transmission line of which the transmission length is shorter than a predetermined length so that it does not generate a deterministic jitter; a jitter tolerance degradation quantity estimator operable to estimate a quantity of degradation of the jitter tolerance which deteriorates by the deterministic jitter caused in the input signal by transmission through the long transmission line when the input signal is input into the electronic device through the transmission line, of which the transmission length is longer than a predetermined length so that it may cause the deterministic jitter; a system jitter tolerance estimator operable to estimate a jitter tolerance of the electronic device and a jitter tolerance of a system including the long transmission line and the electronic device based on quantity of degradation of the jitter tolerance, is provided.
