RE: [Digital BW] Dynamic Range - picture describing terms

2002-03-25 by Austin Franklin

Hi,

Here is, what I consider, a very succinct picture that shows what largest
and smallest mean with respect to the definition of dynamic range:

It shows "largest" being the overall largest amplitude that the signal can
attain, and that "smallest" refers to the noise level within the signal.

Hopefully this will clarify some terminology misunderstanding.
