Abstract :
In this paper, the uncertainty of the estimated standard deviation of the random noise present in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), using the test suggested in the IEEE 1057-94 Standard, is thoroughly analyzed. Expressions for the test result uncertainty and for determination of the test parameters are derived.
