contents We propose the Jiggled Interferometer (JIGI), a novel ground-based gravitational wave detector employing low-frequency noise mitigation similar to that of space-based detectors. Using rapidly-repeated free-fall test masses, JIGI eliminates seismic and suspension thermal noise during free fall. Compared to the Juggled Interferometer, it offers improved angular stability and avoids tracking lasers. We analyze detrending -- a required step to remove actuation-induced noise -- and show sensitivity gains of about four orders of magnitude in the 0.1-0.3 Hz band, relative to seismic and suspension noise extrapolated from the Cosmic Explorer.
