  Sushil   - assumption in matlab script (no rating)
2009-05-19
Hello,
       I have few doubts in matlab script for dynamic specification:

1)you have defined " span=max(round(numpt/200),5);" and using span to integrate signal phase-noise component in +/-span bins to get actual signal power and dc power. How did you come-up with number "numpt/200". It can lead to optimistic value of signal power also and will result in optimistic SNR/SINAD numbers.

2) For harmonics power you integrate for +/-1 bin around harmonic. Why it has to be different from above calculated "span" value.

Thanks/Regards
Sushil

The program in the application note is intended to be an example that you can change according to your requirements. It's several years old and not likely see additional maintenance. Sorry!

Thanks a lot.
  momo   - calculate harmonics (no rating)
2009-08-20
Hello, I encountered some problem when calculate the harmonics.
There is a comment saying that "For this procedure to work, ensure the folded back high order harmonics do not overlap with DC or signal or lower order harmonics"

But my higher order harmonics overlap with signal or lower order harmonics, how can i deal with that?

Thanks a lot!
