Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

As an example, Figure 1 shows the output spectrum for the quad-channel, 16-bit, 2.5 Gsps DAC38J84, with output at 480 MHz and a 2.5 Gsps sample rate. The harmonic distortion frequencies agree with the ...

A critical measure for all audio components is distortion, typically specified as total harmonic distortion (THD) or total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N). THD is defined as: ... THD+N is the rms ...

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 ...

Mixed-signal printed circuit boards (PCBs) present unique challenges in high-performance applications, such as vibration analysis and other multi-channel data acquisition systems. Nonlinear ...
