APPLICATION NOTE
February, 2011
Summary
This application notes
discusses how to quantify
errors in sampled data
systems using several figures
of merit based on frequency
domain measurements
Introduction
Sampled data systems are expected to produce data that is a faithful
reproduction of a continuous input signal. If perfect, the sequence of data
samples would exactly represent the voltage of the waveform sampled at
the points in time where the samples are taken. A perfect sampled data
system is not possible due to a variety of noise and distortion factors
discussed in more detail below.
An imperfect sampling system produces a sequence of data that does not
exactly represent the sampled analog waveform. The difference between
the actual waveform and the input waveform is called the error signal. The
power content in the error signal causes degradation of the sampled
signal.
When looked at in the time domain, it is often difficult to distinguish
between the error signal and the input signal. Therefore, frequency
domain methods are often used, usually using a spectrum analyzer. When
a sinusoidal input is applied to a system and examined in the frequency
domain, it is easy to distinguish the error from the input. This is because
the input signal should represent a spectral peak at a single frequency. All
other spectral components are considered as error.
Metrics have been established to quantify the quality of sampling systems.
These metrics tend to separate the sources of error such that examination
of such metrics provide indications of the causes for degradation in a
system. This paper is concerned with the metrics based on frequency
domain measurements. Since many of these metrics are based on power
measurements of frequency related components, this paper also
addresses these issues. Specifically, it addresses these measurements
performed using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) applied to the data
samples.

Distortion
Distortion is considered as error in the acquired
waveform that has a high degree of correlation with
the signal. In other words, distortion is not random,
but is dependent in some manner on the input.
For the purpose of this paper, distortion is defined as
follows:
Distortion is defined as any portion
of the error signal whose frequency
locations are functions of the input
frequency.
Knowing the input frequency, the distortion
frequencies can always be calculated if the
mathematical model for the distortion is known. For
example, the most common form of distortion is
harmonic distortion. With harmonic distortion, the
distortion components appear at integer multiples of
the input frequency. Typical sources of harmonic
distortion are non-linearity of the transfer function of
the system including saturation, clipping, slew-rate
limiting and others.
Other forms of distortion are possible. Often these
forms are known based on the design of the system.

Averaging
This section is included to provide some insight into
further possibilities for improving the measurement
results.
As shown in Figure 1, the error portion of the signal
is broken into noise and distortion. As mentioned
previously, what is classified as noise is usually
uncorrelated with the signal and what is classified as
distortion usually is. Uncorrelated noise can be
removed by averaging. Averaging can only be
performed if you are measuring a system capable of
generating a stable trigger, like a digital
oscilloscope.

Now that the DFT has been taken, the next step is to classify all of the frequencies
of interest. These will include the input signal frequency, the DC point, and the
noise and distortion components.

The designated frequencies are highlighted in blue. The designated
frequencies seem to cover most of the peaks, but it seems that it
covers the entire spectrum. This would not be .desirable because
there has to be some room in between the spectral components to be
designated as noise.
Here is a zoom of the input frequency:
From this picture, it is clear that the selection of 20 MHz as the
delta frequency is fine. Note that you do not need to get the
delta frequency exactly correct. You must only ensure that the
designation "coats" the peak down to the noise floor. It does not
matter if it coats some of the noise - this is accounted for later in
the calculations.

frequencies have been classified and the noise is a good

Noise calculation:
Noise is calculated by summing the effective voltage of the
undesignated DFT components, then calculating an effective
noise per DFT bin, then summing them as if it were present in
every bin (which it is).

Example Summary
An example was shown of an effective bits measurement on a LeCroy DSO. The example was illustrative of many items
not shown in the paper and is indicative of the cleverness which can be employed once the power measurement
techniques are mastered.
In particular, it illustrated:
1. The normalization, conversion to dBm and correction for windowing.
2. Methods of classification of spectral components using MathCAD.
3. The result of proper classification in the lack of peaks in the DFT of the remaining noise.
4. The proper determination of spectral component size (delta f).
5. The distribution of noise power over other designated components.
6. The determination of quantization and Gaussian noise, and the ability to analyze the actual number of bits in the
digitizer.
7. The estimation of the noise floor function.
8. The calculation of powers of components by subtracting off the underlying noise.
9. The further determination of the power of classes of components such has harmonic power, offset mismatch power,
etc.
10. The ability to define figures of merit unique to a particular measurement.

Tables
Table to convert between various voltage units.
In order to use this table, you must first know the following values:
R, the assumed resistance which the voltage appears across and Pref, the reference power level.
Then, simply cross-reference the units of your input and output variable to find the correct equation. Then plug in the numbers.
Example: You are working on RF and want to find the rms voltage corresponding to -10 dBm.
Step 1. Determine R. For RF, R is assumed to be 50 .
Step 2. Determine Pref. For RF, Pref is assumed to be 1 mW.
Step 3. Find the column containing dBm.
Step 4. Look for the row containing rms.

Step 5. Plug in the numbers R=50, dBm = -10. -10 dBm = 70.711 mV (rms).
