ASPECTS OF ADC EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION: DEFINITIONS AND MEASUREMENTS

Jan Holub, Josef Vedral

Abstract

The article describes some aspects of understanding, defining and measurements of effective resolution of Analogue-to-Digital Converters. The disadvantages and misleading results of commonly used definition are shown and possible solutions are discussed. Finally, one new solution is given and arguments for its correctness and usability are collected.
