Jitter in Digital Transmission Systems
01 January 1989
This book deals with all aspects of jitter in digital transmission systems and includes much of the mathematical rigor. The mathematical rigor is important to those who may wish to extend the analytical results presented to future digital systems and networks. Along with the analytical results, we will present results of measurements and experiments made on fiber optic transmission systems. We have concentrated on fiber optic transmission systems instead of coaxial, satellite or digital radio transmission systems because of fiber's rapid rise to prominence as the preferred method to transport huge quantities of information long distances. Fiber optic transmission systems will continue to be deployed in increasing capacity and complexity in the evolving worldwide digital network. However, the jitter topics discussed and the results obtained can usually be generalized to other types of digital transmission systems and networks.
