  • Abstract
    It is shown here that the presence of phase noise or jitter in the test setup or in the ADC itself does not cause a bias in the transfer function estimation using the histogram test. The ADC parameters that are related to its transfer function are the transition voltages, code bin widths, integral non linearity, differential non linearity, gain and offset error
