    摘要: A signal under measurement is transformed into a complex analytic signal using a Hilbert transformer and an instantaneous phase of this analytic signal is estimated. A linear phase is subtracted from the instantaneous phase to obtain a phase noise waveform. The phase noise waveform is sampled in the proximity of a zero crossing point of a real part of the analytic signal. A differential waveform of the sample phase noise waveform is calculated to obtain a differential phase noise waveform. An RMS jitter is obtained from the phase noise waveform, and a peak-to-peak jitter is obtained from the phase noise waveform.

    摘要: A clock signal xc(t) that has been converted into a digital signal is transformed into a complex analytic signal zc(t), and an instantaneous phase &THgr; of the zc(t) is estimated. A linear phase is removed from the &THgr; to obtain a phase noise waveform &Dgr;&phgr;(t). The &Dgr;&phgr;(t) is sampled at a timing close to a zero crossing timing of the xc(t) to extract the &Dgr;&phgr;(t) sample. A root-mean-square value &sgr;t of the &Dgr;&phgr;(t) samples is obtained, and a differential waveform of the extracted &Dgr;&phgr;(t) samples is also obtained to obtain a period jitter Jp. Then a root-mean-square value &sgr;p of the Jp is obtained to calculate a correlation coefficient &rgr;tt=1−(&sgr;p2/(2&sgr;t2)). If necessary, an SNRt=&rgr;tt2/(1−&rgr;tt2) is obtained. The &rgr;tt and/or the SNRt is defined as a quality measure of a clock signal.

    摘要: In a rotary pump, an outer rotor and an inner rotor are assembled in a casing such that, when a clearance between an inner teeth portion of the outer rotor and an outer teeth portion of the inner rotor is substantially nullified at a first closed gap portion having a maximum volume formed between the inner teeth portion and the outer teeth portion, a clearance between the outer rotor and the casing on a side of the first closed gap portion and a clearance between the outer rotor and the casing on a side of a second closed gap portion having a minimum volume, become substantially an equivalent interval. As a result, the outer rotor and the casing can be brought into contact with each other on the side of the second closed gap portion rather than the central axis of the inner rotor. Even in a high pressure discharge operation, the outer rotor is not locked by being squeezed between the inner rotor and the casing.

    摘要: There is provided a method of and an apparatus for detecting delay faults in phase-locked loop circuits. A frequency impulse is applied to a phase-locked loop circuit under test as the reference clock, and a waveform of a signal outputted from the phase-locked loop circuit under test is transformed to an analytic signal to estimate an instantaneous phase of the analytic signal. A linear phase is estimated from the estimated instantaneous phase, and the estimated linear phase is removed from the estimated instantaneous phase to obtain a fluctuation term of the instantaneous phase. A delay time is measured from this fluctuation term of the instantaneous phase, and further, a delay fault is detected by comparing a time duration during which the phase-locked loop circuit remains in a state of oscillating a certain frequency with a time duration during which a fault-free phase-locked loop circuit remains in a state of oscillating that certain frequency.

    摘要: An instantaneous differential non-linearity DNL can be determined with a high accuracy with a reduced volume of computation and independently from a testing frequency while allowing an evaluation of factors in a compounded fault. A sine signal is applied to an AD converter 14 under test, a conversion output of which is divided into a sine component and a cosine component, with local maxima or minima aligned with each other. A square sum of the individual samples is formed, and a square root of the square sum is formed to determine an instantaneous amplitude (21). The amplitude of the sine wave signal is interleaved into a series of instantaneous amplitudes (20), and a first stage of the wavelet transform (46) is applied to the interleaved series of instantaneous amplitudes, with its output being oversampled to perform a second stage of wavelet transform (46′). A maximum amplitude of the transform output is detected by peak detector 23′. A detected value is used to estimate the DNL.
