Tolerance to Jitter and Wander

A phase fluctuation of a signal is an oscillating movement with an amplitude and a frequency.
Strictly speaking, wander is defined as the phase error comprised in the frequency band between 0 and 10 Hz of the spectrum of the phase variation. If this frequency is higher than 10 Hz, it is known as jitter.
Jitter and wander affect every stage of data recovery, producing a number of sampling errors, clock, losses, and overflow.
