"Jitter" is the noise modulation due to random time shifts on an otherwise ideal, or perfectly on-time, signal transition. In the absence of ultra-high-speed...
We introduce a statistic that can be used for a particularly difficult measurement prob-lem, namely, determining frequency stability for fre-quency standards and...
We report the first definitive PM and AM noise measurements at 100 GHz of indium phosphide (InP) amplifiers operating at 5 K, 77 K, and room temperature...
