Analysis of the effect of DAC resolution on RMS value of the signal generated by the digital source of low-frequency standard AC voltage

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the effect of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) resolution on the RMS value of the sinusoidal signal generated by the digitally synthesized source (DSS) of low-frequency standard AC voltage. The analysis applies to the DSS operating in the constant sampling time (CST) mode and being calibrated using the peak-to-peak method.
