sinewave and output
The distortion of a waveform relative to a pure sinewave can be measured either by using a wave analyser to analyse the output wave into its constituent harmonics and noting the amplitude of each relative to the fundamental ; or by cancelling out the fundamental with a notch filter and measuring the remaining signal, which will be total aggregate harmonic distortion plus noise.
Given a sinewave generator of very low inherent distortion, it can be used as input to amplification equipment, whose distortion at different frequencies and signal levels can be measured by examining the output waveform.
