Converting Phase Noise (dBc/Hz) to Phase Jitter (ps RMS) for Large Data Sets —How to calculate phase jitter from phase noise data, as usually obtained from test equipment where the raw output file contains a long list of (x,y) data for (Hz, dBc/Hz). Excel spreadsheets examples help illustrate these calculations.
