Patients with myasthenia gravis have been investigated with single fibre electromyography. In all myasthenic muscles recordings were obtained where there was an increase of the jitter and occasional blocking of different degree of single fibre action potentials. The jitter is the variability at consecutive discharges in the time interval between action potentials from two muscle fibres from the...

This paper presents analyses and experimental results on the jitter transfer of delay-locked loops (DLLs). Through a -domain model, we show that in a widely used DLL configuration, jitter peaking always exists and high-frequency jitter does not get attenuated as previous analyses suggest. This is true even in a firstorder DLL and an overdamped second-order DLL. The amount of jitter peaking is s...

A method of designing fixed-coefficient FIR filters whose input signals are sampled irregularly due to clock jitter is presented. The approach does not require direct measuring of the jitter. Instead it is assumed that the jitter is a strictly stationary stochastic process for which some statistical information is available. Prelin~inary analysis of degradation of filter performance due to pres...

Jitter analysis is yet another field of engineering that is pock-marked with acronyms. Each category and type of jitter has its own acronym and every one of them gives insight into problems that limit the bit error ratio of a system. In this paper, we define the categories and types of jitter, their origins and interrelationships, and how they can be used to diagnose and debug system hardware. ...

Output jitter| the variation in the inter-completion times of successive jobs of the same task | is studied in the context of the preemptive uniprocessor scheduling of periodic real-time tasks. A formal quantitative model for output jitter is proposed. A list of properties that are desirable in any jitter-minimization schedule is enumerated. Algorithms are presented for generating such schedule...

The use of the Allan variance for the characterization of the jitter timebase error in waveform digitizers is proposed. With this aim, the Allan variance is shown to be a sound basis for defining and measuring a suitable figure of merit, diagnosing the jitter noise type, and including a jitter error block into a previously proposed digitizer model. Experimental results highlighting the effectiv...

Attitude of the Small satellite is prone to be affected by external disturbing factors due to its small inertia. As for Beijing-1 small satellite, jitter is induced and exhibited in the images taken while the outside disturbance is intense. The jitter is manifested as jagged lines and edges in the images, leading to distortion of geometric property of the objects. In this paper, properties of t...

Many wireless protocols wait a small and random amount of time which is called jitter before sending a packet to avoid high contention and packet collision. Jitter has been already proposed for many routing protocols including AODV and LOADng. However, since they do not consider any link quality parameters or metrics (such as ETX) in routing, they fail to be efficient in metric-based routing pr...
