phase noise = jitters

Yes. Phase noise is the frequency domain way of looking at it. Jitter is the time domain way.

yes,jitter in time domain we can see the wave form with varation in the wave form.
phase noise in time domain.

hi,
radio frequency engineers speak of phase noise, whereas digital system engineers work with jitter.

Jitter is an unwanted variation ofdifferent signal characteristics

Phase noise is the frequency domain representation of fluctuations in the phase of a wave, caused by time domain instabilities ("jitter").
