PARTICULARITIES OF THE CYCLIC A/D CONVERTERS ENOB DEFINITION AND MEASUREMENT
Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2008, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the methods of accurate assessment and analysis of the expected and actual effective number of bits (ENOB) of cyclic analog-to-digital converters. The equivalence of definition of ENOB in the IEEE Standard 1241-2000 and proposed in earlier author's works analytical definition formulated on the basis of distributions of the input signal and conversion errors. Indirect and direct methods of ENOB measurement are considered. The presented results can be used for a development of accurate methods of performance analysis and testing of the cyclic and other ADCs.

MEASUREMENTS OF UNSTEADY FLOW PARAMETERS IN PIPE-RECEIVER AND PIPE-TURBOCHARGER SYSTEMS
In the paper, the characteristic features of an unsteady flow in two systems: a high-volume pipe-receiver and a pipe-turbine are described. The tests were made under the conditions of a pulsating pipe supply in the range...
THE INFLUENCE OF INACCURACY OF CALCULATING ALGORITHMS USED IN THE CMMS ON MEASUREMENT RESULTS -FINAL REPORT<br />
The author has devised a test for evaluating the accuracy of calculation algorithms and used it to establish the accuracy of the software of fourteen CMMs offered by world top manufacturers. Using a minimum number of mea...
THE PROBLEM OF MEASUREMENT DATA COMPLEXITY, FOR EXAMPLE OF THE GENERAL MODEL OF THE CENTRAL RESPIRATORY GENERATOR AND RECURRENT PLOTS ANALYSIS
The purpose of this modeling paper is to show and, in some extent, to explore the utility of one nonlinear tool, the recurrence plot, in assessing physiological systems and states, for example of the respiratory system....
QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF HIGH VOLTAGE VARISTORS BY THIRD HARMONIC INDEX
High voltage varistors that consist mainly of grained ZnO have to be tested before assembling into a surge arrester. The existing methods demand a usage of high voltages and intensive currents that is inconvenient, destr...
MEASUREMENT OF COMPLEX CONDUCTIVITY IN CARBON NANOTUBE POLYMER COMPOSITES UNDER MECHANICAL SHEAR
We measured the complex conductivity of carbon nanotube-polypropylene composites under mechanical shear conditions. In order to determine how flow alters the properties of these complex fluids we constructed a rheo-diel...
