SNDR
Signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINADR) is a measurement of the purity of a signal. SINADR is typically used in data converter specifications. SINADR is defined as:
S

{\displaystyle \mathrm {SINADR} ={\frac {P_{\mathrm {signal} }}{P_{\mathrm {quantizationError} }+P_{\mathrm {randomNoise} }+P_{\mathrm {distortion} }}}}
where
P
{\displaystyle P}
is the average power of the signal, quantization error, random noise and distortion components. SINADR is usually expressed in dB. SINADR is a standard metric for analog-to-digital converter and digital-to-analog converter.
SINADR (in dB) is related to ENOB by the following equation:
