Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Measurements White Paper

This white paper discusses total harmonic distortion (THD), a popular measure of nonlinearity of a device, and is generally defined as the ratio of the RMS sum of the amplitudes of harmonic signals of a desired fundamental to the RMS sum with the fundamental included. Learn how you can use the MS464xB VectorStar VNA to optimize speed of setup, flexibility, and access to intermediate measurements.
