The impact of clock jitter on AD/DA conversion performance is detailed for several conversion methods. Account is taken of the spectral distribution of both the jitter and of the converted waveform. The inadequacy of a single ?picosecond? performance figure is shown, and the use of a dBc/sqrt(Hz) specification is proposed instead.
