m.
Calculate
the
Total
Harmonic
Distortion using
the
graph
shown
in
Figure
4-9.
As
an example:
If
the
amplitude of
the
second
harmonic
is
110
dB
and
the
third
harmonic
amplitude
is
-
1
14
dB
the
dB
difference
between
the
two
is
-4
dB. Locate
this
number
on
the
horizontal
axis
of
the
graph.
The
-4
line intersects
the
curve
at
approximately
the
+1.5
level
on
the
vertical
axis.
The
total
harmonic
distortion
is
therefore the
amplitude
of
the
largest
harmonic
(2nd harmonic)
plus
the
number
determined
on
the
vertical axis
(-110 dB
+
1.5
dB
= -
108.5 dB).

NOTE
It
may
be necessary
to
increase the
Bandwidth
of
the
Spectrum Analyzer
at
higher
frequencies.
Adjust
as
necessary
to
maintain
a
stable reading.
