摘要:
A bit sequence generator for generating a bit sequence defined by a generating function and an initial state of the generating function comprising a plurality of state machines and a multiplexer. Each state machine of the plurality of state machines generates a time-interleaved bit sequence, wherein a state machine generates a bit of the time-interleaved bit sequence for a current time step based on at least one bit generated by the state machine for a preceding time step, the generating function of the bit sequence to be generated, and the initial state of the generating function and independent from a time-interleaved bit sequence generated by another state machine of the plurality of state machines. Further, a multiplexer selects successively one bit from each generated time-interleaved bit sequence in a repetitive manner to obtain the bit sequence defined by the generating function and the initial state of the generating function.

Embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for measuring a phase noise of a test signal. The apparatus comprises a recursive delayer, a combiner and a phase noise determinator. The recursive delayer is configured to provide a delayed signal on the basis of the test signal. The combiner is configured to combine a first signal with a second signal to provide a combiner output signal. The first signal is based on the test signal or a signal identical to the test signal. The second signal is based on the delayed signal or a signal identical to the delayed signal. The phase noise determinator is configured to provide a phase noise information that depends on the combiner output signal.
