Equation 16 provides a practical means for measuring the standard deviation of jitter, ,. If the aperture time and sampling interval are approximately equal, Equation 16shows that the noise spectral density due to jitter increases from zero at zero frequency to a maximum at the Nyquist sampling frequency. Therefore, by digitizing a constant signal, } can be determined from the component of the powerdensity spectrum of the signal that both increases with the mean of the signal and varies with respect to frequency according to Equation 16 (13).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
