We present a technique for simultaneous determination of the uncorrelated and correlated timing and amplitude jitter of a pulse train from its radio-frequency spectrum. First, we present a robust analysis that separately identifies both correlated and uncorrelated jitter. Second, we show that all four noise components can be uniquely determined by combining the traditional integrating calculation with a nonintegrating computation. We present simulation results that confirm the accuracy of this technique.
