Just some random thoughts. First, the 100ELT22 translates from TTL to PECL.
TTL or CMOS input signals will have very high levels of jitter and do not
expect the 100ELT to make it better. Jitter levels of ECL or PECL circuits
that I have measured are generally in the 1 picosec to 10 picosec peak-peak
(cycle to cycle) range because bipolar ECL has higher gain than a CMOS design
and because it is non-saturated logic. Any TTL or CMOS saturated logic
source will be one to two orders of magnitude worse in jitter. Good low
noise crystal oscillators have about 50 peak-peak picosec of jitter but can
be as high as 150 picosec peak-peak. Once you have converted to ECL or PECL
your noise should not get worse than it was at the input to the 100ELT22
unless you have noise on your power lines. Remember that ECL or PECL is high
speed analog nonsaturated logic.
Model your noise either by generating a large file of digital input signal
with Gaussian variation in the transition times (best method) or add a
Gaussian generator which models you input jitter to the threshold level of
the model. Run your simulation and generate a large file of time data. Next
import the simulation data into matlab or other similar program and generate
statistical analysis of the output cycle to cycle jitter in the data.
Complete analysis would also include thermal noise generators, noise on the
power lines and load impedance mismatch in your simulation.
