These can be distinguished as THD F (for "fundamental"), and THD R (for "root mean square"). [12] [13] THD R cannot exceed 100%. At low distortion levels, the difference between the two calculation methods is negligible. For instance, a signal with THD F of 10% has a very similar THD R of 9.95%. However, at higher distortion levels the ...
Most audio components are designed to be linear across their entire operating range. Well-designed solid-state amplifiers and CD players may have a frequency response that varies by only 0.2 dB between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. [5] Loudspeakers tend to have considerably less flat frequency responses than this. Total harmonic distortion (THD)
A signal is applied to the input such that the output increases by 12 dB. The level of the signal needed to produce this is noted. In this case, it was found to be 0.25 microvolts. According to the radio designer, intelligible speech can be detected 12 dB above the receiver's noise floor (noise and distortion).
A graph of the A-, B-, C- and D-weightings across the frequency range 10 Hz – 20 kHz Video illustrating A-weighting by analyzing a sine sweep (contains audio). A-weighting is a form of frequency weighting and the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level.

Comparison of quantizing a sinusoid to 64 levels (6 bits) and 256 levels (8 bits). The additive noise created by 6-bit quantization is 12 dB greater than the noise created by 8-bit quantization. When the spectral distribution is flat, as in this example, the 12 dB difference manifests as a measurable difference in the noise floors.

An Australian man is accused of murdering his wife with a homemade spear. Talaat Hawatt, also known as Terrance Howot, is accused of having attacked his wife Khouloud Bakour Hawatt with the weapon ...
Decibels relative to full scale (dBFS or dB FS) is a unit of measurement for amplitude levels in digital systems, such as pulse-code modulation (PCM), which have a defined maximum peak level. The unit is similar to the units dBov and decibels relative to overload ( dBO ).
