We calculate numerically the radiation spectrum from relativistic electrons moving in small scale turbulent magnetic fields expected in high energy astrophysical sources. Such radiation spectrum is characterized by the strength parameter $a = \lambda_{B}} e|B|/mc^2$, where $\lambda_{B}}$ is the length scale of the turbulent field. When $a$ is much larger than the Lorentz factor of a radiating electron $\gamma$, synchrotron radiation is realized, while $a\ll 1$ corresponds to the so-called jitter radiation regime. Because for $1
