Exploration of Deterministic Jitter Distributions

While Deterministic Jitter (DJ) is generally agreed to be peak limited, what is less clear is
how rapidly its PDF decreases near that limit, especially when the DJ is due to crosstalk.
This paper addresses this and related questions by considering a class of responses which
are similar to real system responses but are described by closed form equations. These
responses can therefore be evaluated precisely at arbitrary times, allowing the tails of the
jitter distribution to be explored in detail. The result is a clearer understanding of when
the tails of a DJ PDF can resemble a Gaussian.
