The 200mv p-p number is a guess at the maximum amplitude
someone thought we should use. In reality we intend on ramping
up the level slowly and developing a pertubation vs. jitter
curve.
We have methods to control the broadband impedance of the
power distribution system (planes, bypass caps etc.) to
maintain a relatively constant and controlled impedance,
so the Z we have to drive may not be as wildly varying as
one might imagine.

We've already looked at and characterized individual sections
of the circuitry without too much problem. Now we've been asked
to evaluate the response of the entire system to noise pertubation.
