jitter
(redirected from Phase jitter)

   Also found in: Medical, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

jitter

A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle or, more generally, the variable arrival of packets. In computer graphics, to "jitter a pixel" means to place it off side of its normal placement by some random amount in order to achieve a more natural antialiasing effect.


jitter - Random variation in the timing of a signal, especially a clock.
