Jitter
Jitter describes the fast and random temporal relation of different signals or parts of the same signal. On streak camera applications, the delay of an optical pulse related to the trigger signal of the sweep unit or the sweep voltage itself may fluctuate statistically. If many measurement signals are superimposed on the phosphor screen and when the pulses are not perfectly appearing on the same screen position, the resulting pulse will be spatially and consequently temporally broadened.
