Total Harmonic Distortion Measurements in Magnetic Tape Equipment

Authors: Bates, Charles M.

AES Convention 70 · Paper 1847 · October 1981

Abstract

With audio equipment achieving ever higher standards of performance these days, the capability of measuring the performance parameters is becoming even more difficult. One such important parameter is total harmonic distortion (THD). Accurate measurement of total harmonic distortion requires not only very good test equipment, but also a clear understanding of what is really being measured to avoid errors in interpreting the measured results.
