2. jitter
   Variation in the time taken for requested data to arrive. A QoS performance indicator in any communications protocol. Jitter in packet networks makes the delivery of delay-sensitive services more difficult. Examples include video telephone services and VoIP. See also latency.

4. Jitter
   A form of digital distortion caused by a very slight imprecision of digital sampling times (when sound is recoded digitally, it is done by 'slicing' the signal into many segments, see Sample for a further explaination), leading to amplitude (signal level) errors. The distortion is more pronounced at...

5. Jitter
   The short-term variations of the significant instants of a timing signal from their ideal positions in time (where short-term implies that these variations are of frequency greater than or equal to 10 Hz).

6. jitter
   a short-term variation of the pulse spacing of an otherwise regular pulse train. (Gloss. of Comm.,EM. Smith); In telephony, the measurement, in degrees out of phase that an analog signal deviates from the referenced phase of the main data-carrying signal; often caused by alternating-current componen...

   sudden, small, irregular departures from the ideal value of a characteristic of a signal, such as the phase, pulse duration or magnitude NOTE 1 - A more specific definition of jitter in digital transmission is given in chapter 704.

15. Jitter
    `Jitter` in technical terms is the deviation in or displacement of some aspect of the pulses in a high-frequency digital signal. As the name suggests, jitter can be thought of as shaky pulses. The deviation can be in terms of amplitude, phase timing, or the width of the signal pulse. Another definit...

16. Jitter
    (optics) In optics, `jitter` is used to refer to motion that has high temporal frequency relative to the integration/exposure time. This may result from vibration in an assembly or from the unstable hand of a photographer. Jitter is typically differentiated from smear, which has a lower frequ...
