Jitter is a crucial parameter in digital and analog electronics and particularly in RF communication systems as it can seriously affect their proper performances. Unfortunately, several different approaches for defining jitter and methods for measuring it have been developed depending on the particular system and application. This can lead to misconceptions and setup dependent results. In the paper a classification scheme concerning jitter terminology is proposed to provide an overview of the different existing jitter terms that can help in the perspective of finding a way to carry out a harmonized standardization of the jitter measurements.

Abstract
Jitter is a crucial parameter in digital and analog electronics and particularly in RF communication systems as it can seriously affect their proper performances. Unfortunately, several different approaches for defining jitter and methods for measuring it have been developed depending on the particular system and application. This can lead to misconceptions and setup dependent results. In the paper a classification scheme concerning jitter terminology is proposed to provide an overview of the different existing jitter terms that can help in the perspective of finding a way to carry out a harmonized standardization of the jitter measurements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
