This paper provides an overview of the effects of timing jitter in audio sampling analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), i.e. PCM (conventional or Nyquist sampling) ADCs and sigma-delta (Σ∆) ADCs. Jitter in a digital audio is often defined as shortterm fluctuations of the sampling instants of a digital signal from their ideal positions in time. The influence of the jitter increases particularly w...

This communication tackles the problem of a Gaussian band-limited continuous signal with unknown characteristics sampled with jitter. Under this weak assumption, we demonstrate a relation linking the power spectral density of the continuous signal to the second and fourth order statistics of the measured samples. A fundamental point is that this relation does not require the knowledge of the ji...

UNLABELLED EVA was designed to study various speech production parameters. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to define the mean values for electroglottography tests of Brazilian Portuguese speakers on EVA. MATERIALS AND METHOD The voices of 20 men and 20 women without voice-related complaints were analyzed through electroglottography so as to obtain reference values for normality. CASE STUDY this...

The QoS standard of a VoIP session degrades if its stringent time requirements are not met. Low end-to-end delay of the voice packets and low packet loss must be maintained. Jitter between voice packets must also be within tolerable limits. Jitter hampers voice quality and makes the VoIP call uncomfortable to the user. Very often, buffers are used to store the received packets for a short time ...

Single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) is the most sensitive clinical neurophysiological test for neuromuscular junction disorders, particularly myasthenia gravis. Normal values for jitter obtained with SFEMG electrode have been published, but there are few publications for concentric needle electrode (CNE). The aim of this study was to discuss the possibilities to analyse the jitter in CNE reco...

In this paper by using an exactly analytic approach the clock jitter in the feedback path of the continuous time Delta Sigma modulators (CT DSM) is modeled as an additive jitter noise, providing a time invariant model for a jittery CT DSM. Then for various DAC waveforms the power spectral density (psd) of the clock jitter at the output of DAC is derived and by using an approximation the in-band...

Timing jitter is one of the most important properties of femtosecond mode-locked lasers and optical frequency combs. Accurate measurement of timing jitter power spectral density (PSD) is a critical prerequisite for optimizing overall noise performance and further advancing comb applications both in the time and frequency domains. Commonly used jitter measurement methods require a reference mode...

Although jitter, shimmer, and turbulent noise characterize all voice signals, their perceptual importance has not been established psychoacoustically. To determine which of these acoustic attributes is important in listeners’ perceptions of pathologic voices, listeners used a speech synthesizer to adjust levels of jitter, shimmer, and noise so that synthetic voices matched natural pathological ...
