An investigation on the discrete-time nature of excess phase and jitter

Abstract

Excess phase in oscillators or phase locked loops is a very important design specification typically modelled as a continuous time signal. In this paper we explain why, when the quantity of interest is jitter, excess phase should be treated as a discrete quantity. This treatment helps explaining noise folding in frequency dividers and analyse its consequences in Phase Locked Loops.
