Figure 4 Jittering is equivalent to convolving with a sinc filter in expectation. The one-dimensional signal is shown for different levels of jitter J ∈ {0.5, 1, 1.5} and different levels of averaging {1, 5, 50, 500, 5000}. In expectation, jittering corresponds to a real-space convolution with a top-hat filter. This agrees with the equivalent operation in Fourier space via the convolution theorem, where it corresponds to multiplication by a sinc filter.
