Hi The dividing line between wander and jitter is a “legal" one rather than a physics one. It’s a breakpoint in a spec where the treatment of the noise changes from “do this” to “do that”. In most cases you pass wander and you attenuate jitter. Different specs put the line at different points based on hoped for system performance.
