← TechnologyWhich processing error arises when the clock data-recovery circuit in a high-speed fiber-optic receiver fails, causing incorrect sampling of the received signal?
A)Intersymbol interference amplification
B)Additive white Gaussian noise distortion
C)Chromatic dispersion broadening
D)Timing jitter induced distortion✓
💡 Explanation
Timing jitter significantly increases because phase errors in the recovered clock lead to variable sampling instants (sample at wrong points in the bit period), causing distortion; therefore timing jitter-induced distortion results, rather than simply noise, since the errors correlated errors with the data.
