Wander

In telecommunication, wander are long-term random variations of the significant instants of a digital signal from their ideal positions.

Note 1: Wander variations are those that occur over a period greater than 1 s (second).

Note 2: Jitter, swim, wander, and drift have increasing periods of variation in that order.
