Abstract
This paper develops theory behind the noise power ratio (NPR) testing of ADCs. A mid-riser formulation is used for mathematical simplicity. Simulated results, using DAC generated signals, suggests that the uniformly distributed signal is easier to implement and is more sensitive to amplitude dependent distortions
