SINAD Measurements Using the Keysight U8903A Audio Analyzer

Show Description

This application note discusses the use of the Keysight Technologies, Inc U8903A Audio Analyzer in characterizing radio receiver sensitivity by means of measuring SINAD. An overview of the measurement is given and potential differences in results between the modern U8903A and older generation instruments like the 8903B are discussed. SINAD is an acronym for SIgnal, Noise And Distortion. It is an audio quality value that is typically used to specify the RF sensitivity of radio receivers.
