Abstract
Systems and methods for efficient jitter mitigation or removal from a gapped signal. A phase mitigation module is employed to generate discrete correction values for modifying phase error signals detected between a gapped signal and a feedback signal of the PLL. The correction values can be digitally subtracted from the output of a phase frequency detector associated with the PLL. The sequence of correction values can be determined based on phase frequency differences between the input signal and a targeted feedback signal that is free of jitter and has a period equal to an average period of the input signal. An average of the correction values is substantially equal to zero, and an average of the modified phase error signal is substantially equal to zero.
