Measurement of Nonlinear Distortion

Authors: Bloch, Alan

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 1 · Issue 1 · pp. 62–67 · January 1953

Abstract

The harmonic, heterodyne (CCIF), and intermodulation (SMPTE) methods of distortion measurement are examined form a mathematical standpoint. It is found that all three methods yield equivalent information when properly applied but that the intermodulation method is most likely to yield objectively valid results in practical applications.
