Enhanced Time Base Jitter Compensation of Sine Waves

The goal of this paper is to estimate the amplitude of a sine wave in the presence of time base jitter, time base drift, time base distortion and additive noise. This work is motivated by a comparative study of the amplitude distortion estimated using a nose-to-nose and electro-optic sampling based calibration of a high-frequency sampling oscilloscope. It uses the exact expression of the variance of a sine wave in the presence of normally distributed additive and jitter noise, instead of a Taylor approximation of this expression.
