I believe jitter is phase shift. I could be wrong. The impact does
becomes greater at higher frequencies. Inductive impedance increases,
capacitive impedance decreases. If I mismember correctly, capacitance
increases with run length, and if you should happen to get the
capacitive and inductive impedances equal, regenerative feedback will
start an oscillation causing much unhappiness and presumably major
meltdown.
