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:
“Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.”
—Herman Hupfeld (1894–1951)
“In the domain of art there is no light without heat.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
