Abstract
The specification of the converter is a dominant mechanism to align the wishes of the user to the possibilities of the designer. Directly coupled to the specification is the measurement technique that serves to establish a numerical value for a theoretical concept. This chapter discusses the fundamentals of the characterization and measurement techniques, such as histogram testing.
