Adc noise floor calculation.
Fft noise floor 110db rms quantization noise level data generated using adisimadc figure 2.
Calculate the input noise of the converter which is the theoretical thermal noise floor limit ktb 174dbm at room temperature.
The same noise power is only spread across finer frequency bin widths as seen in figure 1.
Measure the snr of the adc in nyquist bandwidth usually 0 5db or 1db below fullscale normalize the converter s noise power to a 1hz bandwidth by simply subtracting 10log fs 2 from the snr value.
This application report gives a method to calculate the effective noise figure of the whole signal chain and how knowing this helps correlate it with effective noise floor and dynamic range calculations for the last element the analog to digital converter adc in the receiver chain.
In this case the noise floor of the fft would be equal to the noise spectral density of the adc but the total noise power still has never changed.
Fft output for an ideal 12 bit adc input 2 111mhz f s 82msps average of 5 ffts m 8192 data generated from.
