Distortion Measurement Interpretation

Authors: Peters, Richard W.; Burkhard, Mahlon D.

AES Convention 35 · Paper 616 · October 1968

Abstract

Distortion measures obtained with a single sine wave (harmonic distortion), two sine waves (intermodulation distortion) and wide band noise all indicates the magnitude of the harmonics and other frequencies produced in non-linear systems, but, correlate poorly with intelligibility tests. At the present time, none of these measures is suitable for predicting relative speech intelligibility scores for a mixed group of non-linear systems. Measurements, analysis and intelligibility scores are compared for four non-linear elements.
