Next, we can invoke the 22 kHz lowpass filter to eliminate the
high-frequency noise. The spectrum now looks like this:
The THD+N still measures 0.185 %. From this, we can determine that
(in this particular case) the high-frequency noise did not make a
significant contribution to the measurement. It is dominated by the
distortion and interference tones.
Following is the spectrum of a different THD+N measurement. This
one comes from a device that generates a significant amount of
high-frequency noise. The THD+N measures 0.057 % with a lower
band limit of 400 Hz and a high band limit of 300 kHz. The spectrum
is shown after the bandreject filtering, which has removed the 1 kHz
fundamental.
