We theoretically analyze the Gordon-Haus timing jitter in an optical transmission system with a dispersion compensation. The enhanced power obtained in the system reduces the frequency shift induced by the noise, and a choice of an appropriate position of the receiver further reduces the timing jitter. Based on these results, we obtain the reduction of the Gordon-Haus timing jitter for the pulse in the dispersion compensated system. The reduction is more when compared with a soliton having equal pulse width and path-averaged dispersion.
