A low-distortion oscillator is necessary for testing today'sADCs (analog-to-digital converters) that have resolution higher than 20 bits.Low-distortion amplifiers with THD (total-harmonic distortion) ...

The presentation of loudspeaker measurements varies wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer. This means that, without independent analysis, consumers are left comparing specifications that were ...

Testing high-resolution data converters with commercially available test equipment always has presented a significant challenge. Until recently, manufacturers of such converters had to extend their ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

As a former telecommunications electrical engineer, I come from a profession where analytical analysis and measurements are a necessity when designing a new product. Working for one of the largest ...

The Novosibirsk Laboratories in Siberia have developed a transistorised harmonic distortion measuring set. It is designed for the frequency range 50 to 15,000 c/s and the limits of percentage ...

High-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) typically are characterized using continuous wave (CW) signals. There are several reasons for this practice: 1) ...

The power quality industry has developed certain index values that help us assess the quality of service as it relates to distortion caused by the presence of harmonics. These values, or harmonic ...

The analysis of electrical signals, otherwise known as signal analysis, is a fundamental challenge for virtually all electronic design engineers and scientists. While it provides valuable insight into ...

Arteche PQ, Inc. has introduced a complete range of active harmonic filters. This new filter product line achieves 5% total harmonic current distortion (THD) by monitoring the flow of harmonic ...

We all know what distortion sounds like. We’ve heard it in heavy metal tunes, cheap iPod docks and the crummy speakers at Taco Bell drive-thrus. And we’ve all read distortion specs on things like ...

Harmonic and intermodulation distortion are discussed, and the reasons given for the failure of the former on disc recording. An apparatus for producing two tones and an analysing equipment for the ...
