Abstract

A signal under measurement is transformed into a complex analytic signal using Hilbert transformation to estimate an instantaneous phase of the signal under measurement from the complex analytic signal. A zero-crossing timing sequence of the signal under measurement is estimated using the instantaneous phase. An instantaneous period sequence of the signal under measurement is estimated from the zero-crossing timing sequence to obtain a jitter of the signal under measurement from the instantaneous period sequence.
