Answer:
10
Explanation:
From the information given:
The input for a fixed voltage range for SQNR when N = 7 is 32 dB
Required: To find the minimum value of N such that SQNR ≥ 46 dB
For an ADC:
SQNR = 6.02(N) + 1.76 dB
Comparing both SQNR such that SQNR₁ = 32 dB and SQNR₂ = 46 dB
Taking the ratio:
[tex]\dfrac{32 - 1.76}{46-1.76}= \dfrac{7}{N_{minimum}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{30.24}{44.24}= \dfrac{7}{N_{minimum}}[/tex]
[tex]N_{minimum} \times 30.24 = 44.24 \times 7[/tex]
[tex]N_{minimum} = \dfrac{44.24 \times 7}{30.24}[/tex]
[tex]N_{minimum} = 10.24[/tex]
[tex]N_{minimum} \simeq 10[/tex]
