SNR

Noise waveform - with no signal attached to the input

Document explaining the theory of the calculation

SNR calculation:

SNR = 20 * log10( (16384/2/sqrt(2)) / (std(noise_samples) )

where:

16384/2/sqrt(2) - RMS of the sinewave covering all the dynamic range of the ADC
std(noise_samples) - standard deviation of the noise, which is the RMS value of the noise
20 * log10() - for dB calculation
