[edit] Jitter transfer function of the second order slave CDR
The transfer function for a sinusoidal input (that is the Jitter Transfer function!) is:

The magnitude of the jitter transfer function of jω tells, at each frequency f = ω/2π , the amplitude of the output jitter for an input jitter with the amplitude of 1 radian ≈ 57.3°.

The following figure is the Bode magnitude plot of the jitter transfer function. Curves for different values of the parameter ζ (damping ratio) are shown:
It can be seen that the CDR is essentially a low-pass filter for the phase jitter. There is no amplification of the input jitter but for values of the damping ratio smaller than
= 0.707, at some frquencies at and around the resonant frequency. The peak amplification occurs at
=
and is:
