   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.

   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 the higher end of the frequency spectrum. Jitter ...

   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).

   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 components in a telecommunications network (1) Category: Management in the public and private sector ...

   Jitter
   `Jitter` is an unwanted variation of one or more signal characteristics in electronics and telecommunications. Jitter may be seen in characteristics such as the interval between successive pulses, or the amplitude, frequency, or phase of successive cycles. Jitter is a significant factor in the design of almost all communications links (e.g. USB, PCI-e, SATA, OC-48). Jitter can apply to a number of signal qualities (e.g. amplitude, phase, pulse w...

    jitter
    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. NOTE 2 - In French the term 'gigue' has, in television, a special meaning equivalent to the English 'sync pulling'. In...
