Phase noise and jitter are two related quantities associated with a noisy oscillator. Phase
noise is a frequency-domain view of the noise spectrum around the oscillator signal, while …

Jitter in clock signals is analyzed, linking noise in free-running oscillators to short-term and
long-term time-domain behavior of phase-locked loops. Particular attention is given to …

Phase noise is a topic of theoretical and practical interest in electronic circuits, as well as in
other fields such as optics. Although progress has been made in understanding the …

Phase noise and timing jitter in oscillators and phase-locked loops (PLLs) are of major
concern in wireless and optical communications. In this paper, a unified analysis of the …

A simplified overview of time-domain jitter measurements is presented in this paper. The
relationship between the time-domain jitter measurements and the power spectrum of the …

The effect of jitter in data converters is analyzed, with a focus on the frequency domain
treatment of the corresponding phase noise. The analysis is mostly intuitive, to give the …
