SPURIOUS-FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the differ-
ence, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input
signal at the output and the peak spurious signal, where a
spurious signal is any signal present in the output spectrum
that is not present at the input, excluding DC.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio ex-
pressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine harmonic levels
at the output to the level of the fundamental at the output. THD
is calculated as
where A_f1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output) fre-
quency and A_f2 through A_f10 are the RMS power of the first 9
harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.
– Second Harmonic Distortion (2nd Harm) is the differ-
ence, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the input
frequency seen at the output and the power in its 2nd har-
monic level at the output.
– Third Harmonic Distortion (3rd Harm) is the difference
expressed in dB between the RMS power in the input fre-
quency seen at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic
level at the output.
