The Effects of Aperture Jitter and Clock Jitter in Wideband ADCs

Michael Löhning, Gerhard Fettweis
Abstract:
Designing leading-edge systems (e.g., communications systems) requires knowledge about the technological limits. Jitter is the limiting effect in ADCs with a digitization bandwidth between 1 MHz and 1 GHz. The effect of aperture jitter and clock jitter have been investigated previously. However, some very important aspects are still missing, in particular investigations on the spectral distribution of the jitter induced error. This gap is filled by this paper.
