NonCoherent Spectral Analysis ofADC using FFTWindows: anAlternative Approach

Thisarticle presents analternative method for testing Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC)bynon-coherent spectral analysis using weighting windows andfocusing onthe maximaofthewindow spectrum instead ofsumming thepower inside themainlobeofthewindowspectrum, asitisalways done. Comparing totheexisting method, theoretical lawsfor computing fundamental, harmonics andnoise powerspectral densities arederived andsoftware simulations areusedto validate them..
