wave, with no external loading (u = unloaded).
The level of 0.775V is derived from the older dBm,
for which the reference level is 1mW of signal
power into a 600Ω termination from an output with
600Ω source impedance.
Level in decibels, referred to a 1.0V rms sine wave,
with no external loading.
Sample rate in kilo-samples per second. This
