An analytical approach is presented for the jitter performance of a timing recovery circuit consisting of a hard-limiter, an exclusive-or gate, followed by a second-order phase-locked loop. Exact expressions for the autocorrelation function and the power spectral density of the zerocrossing jitter in the data signal are derived, and then the phase jitter variance of the timing wave, generated at the output of the timing circuit, is obtained analytically as a function of various system parameters. Finally, numerical results and a comparative performance analysis show that considerable improvement can be achieved in jitter performance in addition to having the advantage of low cost and simple hardware implementation.
