Semiconductor Devices: THD - Total Harmonic Distortion

THD, Total Harmonic Distortion, is one means of quantifying the linearity of an amplifier, device, or system. In audio systems normally it is expressed as a percentage, and a smaller number is better. We investigate how it is measured and its limitations.
