An approach to consistent jitter modeling for various jitter aspects and measurement methods

Timing jitter, period jitter, long term jitter, jitter spectrum, SSB phase noise, etc. are terms that have been used to describe various aspects of jitter phenomena. While several jitter measurement techniques have been proposed with associated jitter models and modeling techniques, the relationship among various jitter aspects, and therefore, the relationship among various jitter measurement techniques is not very obvious. This paper analytically clarifies their relationship, and reviews several jitter measurement techniques based on the results of our analytical studies.
