Effects in Time Domain
In serial data communications, the AWGN mathematical model is used to model the timing error caused by random jitter (RJ).
The graph to the right shows an example of timing errors associated with AWGN. The variable Δt represents the uncertainty in the zero crossing. As the amplitude of the AWGN is increased, the signal-to-noise ratio decreases. This results in increased uncertainty Δt.
When affected by AWGN, The average number of either positive going or negative going zero-crossings per second at the output of a narrow bandpass filter when the input is a sine wave is:
Where
- f0 = the center frequency of the filter
- B = the filter bandwidth
- SNR = the signal-to-noise power ratio in linear terms

Famous quotes containing the words effects, time and/or domain:
“The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
“In the domain of art there is no light without heat.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
