[time-nuts] Calculating phase jitter from phase noise - appnote by silabs

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Be very careful with all these phase noise to jitter conversions. They make
some assumptions about the "noise" that are likely true, but may not be. The
gotcha is that a normal noise measurement does not take phase data. Without
the phase data you really can't properly do the reconstruction. You have to
assume that it's random in the phase domain.

And one from HP/Agilent (taking into account the "colored noise" too:

And one from Fordahl, with the random zero cross consideration:
