Calculating THD vs. Frequency of an Acoustic System using the Exponential Swept Sine Method
I am working on analyzing the total harmonic distortion (THD) vs. frequency curve for an acoustic system. I am aware of the traditional method of exciting the system with a mono-frequency wave and ...

If add white noise to the signal, how much does the std of the noise affect the thd of the signal?
I'm an electrical department student studying signals and systems.
The RMS value of the general AC electrical signal is 6.31V, and the first harmonic value is 6.30932V(rms). (THD is approximately 1.5% ...

Measuring THD using consumer sound card
I am trying to measure (estimate) THD of an audio path using a consumer sound card. The idea is that I do two measurements, one without the system being measured in the path and one with it:

Are Total Harmonic Distortion and Noise (THD+N) and THD correlated in practice?
I've read about THD and THD+N due to interest in audio quality.
Some audio devices (ej. speakers) report %THD or %THD+N. %THD+N is greater than %THD. I've found that sometimes the difference is huge, ...

Optimal amplitude of an $m$-bit sinusoid
A continuous-time sinusoid of zero-to-peak real amplitude $A \le 2^{m-1}-0.5$ (e.g., for $m=16$, $A \le 32767.5$) is quantized to $m$-bit resolution by rounding it to the nearest integer (Fig. 1). ...
