producing the frequency predicted by equation (8). Higher-order harmonics can be calculated similarly. As an example, Figure 1 shows the output spectrum for the quad-channel, 16-bit, 2.5 Gsps DAC38J84 ...

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 ...

The study of harmonics is expansive. Although the theory has been well established, the effects on the electrical system are still being discovered. Lately, this has been the case with high order ...

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) ...

Amplifiers are specified by multiple characteristics including gain, frequency response or bandwidth, power output, linearity, efficiency, noise, and input/output impedances. In wireless applications, ...

With the rising demand of non-linear type equipment and loads, mitigation of harmonics becomes increasingly important. If a harmonics study or testing indicates excessive harmonic levels or a ...
