Abstract
A signal processing apparatus is described comprising a sampling time control circuit configured to provide a sequence of digital values, each digital value specifying a sampling time of a sequence of sampling times, a sampling circuit configured to sample an input signal according to the sequence of sampling times to generate a sampling value of the input signal for each sampling time of the sequence of sampling times and a processing circuit configured to receive the sampling values and configured to process the sampling values based on the sampling times, wherein the sampling time control circuit is configured to introduce jitter into the sampling times, by varying the time intervals between adjacent sampling times.
