Jitter calculation

Jitter is the time domain represantation of the frequency fluctuations.
Jitter due to phase noise:

Jitter = Sphi(f)/(foscx360\deg)

where Sphi(f) is the Spectral density of phase modulation, also kown as RMS phase error [degrees]:

Jitter can be defined to variations of the signal amplitude, frequncy, or phase. It can be measured in terms of RMS, peak to peak etc.
