Maximum time interval error

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 86.130.209.145 (talk) at 20:57, 13 July 2017 (The previous version mentioned that MTIE is the worst case phase variation. TIE, as the name indicates is about time, not about phase.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Maximum time interval error (MTIE) is the maximum error committed by a clock under test in measuring a time interval for a given period of time. It is used to specify clock stability requirements in telecommunications standards.[1] MTIE measurements can be used to detect clock instability that can cause data loss on a communications channel.[2]
