An exact expression for the expected value of the mean square difference of the two data sets acquired during the IEEE 1057 Standard Random Noise Test of analog to digital converters is derived. This expression can be used to estimate exactly the amount of random noise present which is an improvement over the heuristically derived estimator suggested in the standard. A study of the influence of stimulus signal amplitude and offset on the existing estimator is carried out.
