Timing errors in a chain of regenerative repeaters, II

The behavior of the timing jitter in a long chain of repeaters is shown to depend on the spectral properties of a linear operator which maps the space of bounded sequences into itself. As the number of repeaters increases indefinitely, so does the mean value of the jitter. The variation about this mean value remains bounded only for certain highly constrained pulse trains (e.g., periodic, finite, etc.), but it is otherwise unbounded.
