摘要： Using component-level test data to reduce system test. By modeling a system, sensitivity analysis reveals critical components and parameters of those components required to meet system performance parameters. Critical components are tested for these parameters, and these measurements associated with the components. Systems may be assembled which are modeled to meet the system performance parameters based on the model and the measured parameters. Systems may be assembled and calibration coefficients derived and applied from the model and the measured parameters.

摘要： Staggered interleaved Nyquist regions associated with differing ADC clock rates (FCLK) avoids spectrum lost through disjoint guard bands at the end of or between adjacent Nyquist regions. The staggered interleaved Nyquist regions overlap by an amount at least as much as is consumed by the guard bands. Selectable anti-aliasing filters associated with each Nyquist region and its ADC clock rate are used to enforce the staggered Nyquist regions and their various guard bands. For example, and neglecting guard bands, an initial raw band of operation RB1 may be the First Nyquist region for a basic sampling frequency Fs. An adjacent raw band of operation RB2 that overlaps RB1 may be the Second Nyquist region for an alternate sampling frequency 2Fs/3. An adjacent raw band of operation RB3 that overlaps RB2 may be the Second Nyquist region for the basic sampling frequency Fs. These raw bands interleave and overlap: RB1:DC to Fs/21st Nyq. for FCLK = Fs RB2:(⅔)Fs − (½)(⅔Fs) = Fs/3 to2nd Nyq. for FCLK = 2Fs/3 2(2Fs/3)/2 = 2Fs/3 RB3:Fs − (½)Fs = Fs/2 to 2(Fs/2) = Fs2nd Nyq. for FCLK = Fs In this example the smallest overlap is Fs/6. We then select widths for guard bands that do not exceed Fs/6. Additional ADC clock rates and anti-aliasing filters may be used to operate in still higher Nyquist regions.

摘要： A signal analyzer has an analysis scale and a display scale that are independently selectable. The signal analyzer receives a first representation of an applied signal and provides from the first representation at least two alternative representations. A first selective input enables a designated one of the alternative representations to be applied to a filter to reduce variance of the designated representation. The signal analyzer then converts the received one of the alternative representations having reduced variance to at least two alternative display scales. A second selective input enables a designated one of the alternative display scales to be displayed on a monitor, display screen or other output device of the measurement instrument or system. Independent control of the first selective input and the second selective input via a user interface enables the analysis scale—the scale, or representation, to which the filter is applied, to be selected independently of the scale on which the representation having reduced variance is displayed.

摘要： An autoranging apparatus and method for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which uses a proposed gain detector including a peak of absolute detector and a quantizer to determine a proposed gain, and a amplifier gain setting rule processor in parallel with an anti-aliasing (AA) filter. The rule processor generates a current gain from inputs including the current gain, proposed gain, and a resolution bandwidth (RBW) value. The current gain is used to set a variable amplifier before the signal is sampled & held, and then converted to a digital word via the ADC. A variable bandpass filter can additionally be used before the AA filter to produce a pre-filtered signal. The pre-filtered signal would similarly be processed by the proposed gain detector. The resulting digital word is scaled down again through values stored in a look-up table. The look-up table is generated via a calibration routine which determines with certain precision the variable gain levels for the particular amplifier device used.

摘要： A mode selection method for signal analyzers having alternative swept and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) modes of operation enables tradeoffs between measurement speed and dynamic range to be optimized in selecting between the alternative operating modes. The method includes setting the signal analyzer to either a manual state or an automatic state according to a first input to a user interface. When the manual state is set, the analyzer is operated in either the swept operating mode or the FFT operating mode according to a second input to the user interface. When the automatic measurement state is set, a third input to the user interface determines whether measurement speed or dynamic range is optimized. Measurement speed is optimized according to a first optimization scheme and dynamic range is optimized according to a second optimization scheme.
