Hello there,
I tried searching the archives (and google, IEEE, NIST, ITU), but didn't really
find a satisfying answer, so I thought I'd ask directly.
In short:
Is there any kind of standard definition for Jitter which is commonly accepted?
Yes. You want to read ITU-T Rec. G.810.
In short, it takes phase deviations (or Time Error if you so choose) and
separates the variations into jitter and wander. The separation is given
at 10 Hz, so phase deviations faster than 10 Hz is "jitter" and those
below is "wander".
This 10 Hz limit is arbitrary and it is sometimes (eh, most times)
overused. The real meaning for this limit is that this is the typical
bandwidth of an SDH Equipment Clock PLL, so deviations below 10 Hz is
accumulated through a chain, and comes from the reference side of the
PLL while deviations faster is suppressed by the PLL so only the jitter
originating from the locked oscillator will be dominant on the output.
I (think I) understood Jitter and phase noise by now, yet I need to give some references
in my bachelor's thesis, so I'm looking for a definition. So far I haven't found a real
definition of the different "types" (RMS,p2p,c2c,...) and components(RJ,DJ) of
Jitter, but I guess there must be some kind of accepted standard!?
If anyone could point me to some "official sources" which are "accepted in the
industry", I'd be very grateful.
Do look into ITU-T Rec. G.810, 811-813, 823-825.
If you need more, let me know.
Cheers,
Magnus
