SINAD is the abbreviation for SIgnal-to-Noise-And-Distortion. It is the ratio of the signal to the noise-and-distortion component. This is calculated as one of:
- The ratio of (a) total received power, i.e., the signal to (b) the noise-plus-distortion power.
- The ratio of (a) the power of original modulating audio signal, i.e., from a modulated radio frequency carrier to (b) the residual audio power, i.e., noise-plus-distortion powers remaining after the original modulating audio signal is removed.
The SINAD is usually expressed in dB.
