Abstract :
A lower bound to the accuracy of commonly adopted estimation methods for the overall conversion error power of a sinusoidal input signal is provided in the paper. It is shown that such bound depends only on the conversion error power and is inversely proportional to the number of samples of the quantized sequence. Simulation results are reported that validate the obtained theoretical results. The provided analysis is useful for the design of estimation procedures that satisfy the accuracy requirements of the test
