Title: Computing SINAD through .csv data file from Spectrum Analyser
Post by eternity on Oct 4^th, 2016, 3:15am

Hi,

I have the output spectrum data(in log format) of my ADC downloaded from my spectrum analyser.
I want to compute SINAD from it.

My query is, whether I need to compute the PSD of the logarithmic data(dBm) or is it not required before I compute SINAD?

I have so far worked with time domain data and so I never had this query.

Can anyone help me understand it

In case my query is not detailed enough, please get back to me.
