    摘要: Methods, devices, and systems for coherent time-gated residual spur characterization and correction in signal analyzers. In some cases, the method includes: displaying a signal on the display of the signal analyzer that is present without an input signal being provided to an input of the signal analyzer; establishing a predetermined amplitude threshold above which energy spikes in the signal being displayed on the display of the signal analyzer are considered spurious; automatically identifying one or more spurious energy spikes in the signal being displayed on the display of the signal analyzer based on the predetermined amplitude threshold; and automatically reducing or removing the one or more spurious energy spikes from the signal being displayed on the display of the signal analyzer. The method can be performed using one or more processors, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other circuitry on any suitable signal analyzer.

    摘要: A diagnostic method and a diagnostic system for an electrochemical energy storage cell, and a vehicle including the diagnostic system. An electrical current due to an electrical connection between the energy storage cell and a central load is modulated at a first excitation frequency and is measured centrally. An electrical voltage at the energy storage cell is measured and a first impedance value is determined based on the electrical current and the electrical voltage. Also, a previously-known electrical current due to an electrical connection between the energy storage cell and a predefined cell-individual load is modulated at a second excitation frequency. The electrical voltage occurring at the energy storage cell is measured and a second impedance value is determined based on the previously-known electrical current and the electrical voltage. Diagnostic information is determined and output based on a comparison of the first impedance value with the second impedance value.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for the spectral analysis of an electromagnetic measurement signal using an optoelectronic mixer, wherein the optoelectronic mixer is designed to generate the electrical superimposition signal by superimposing the electromagnetic measurement signal and a reference signal with at least one known frequency (fo). The device comprises the following features: a signal input for receiving an electrical superimposition signal from the optoelectronic mixer , a low-pass filter, a rectifier, and a read-out unit. The low-pass filter is designed to generate a filtered superimposition signal from the electrical superimposition signal by filtering out frequency portions above an upper cutoff frequency (fG). The rectifier is designed to generate a rectified superimposition signal from the filtered superimposition signal. The read-out unit is designed to determine a match of the known frequency (fo) of the reference signal with the electromagnetic measurement signal based on the rectified overlay signal.

    摘要: Methods and devices for switching filters and medical apparatuses using the same are described. The method includes: detecting whether or not a frequency range of an input signal is changed from a first frequency range into a second frequency range; if changed, switching from a first filter to a second filter, and taking a sample value of the input signal at a current moment as an input value of the second filter at the current moment and sample values of the input signal at n moments before the current moment as input values of the second filter at the n moments, respectively, and taking output values of the first filter at m moments before the current moment as output values of the second filter at the m moments, to obtain an output value of the second filter at the current moment.

    摘要: A frequency discriminator is described. The frequency discriminator comprises a power splitter (2) for splitting a signal into a plurality of paths (40, 41, 42, . . . , 4n). At least two of the plurality of paths (41, 42, . . . , 4n) include respective filters (121; 122, . . . , 12n) having different frequency characteristics which are configured to provide respective filtered signals to respective power detectors (161, 162, . . . , 16n. The frequency discriminator comprises an analogue-to-digital conversion section (8) which is configured to receive values of measured powers from the power detectors, to generate digital values of measured powers and to provide the digital values of measured powers to a digital processing section (10). The digital processing section is configured to estimate a value (11) of at least one frequency in the signal in dependence on the digital values, for example the ratio of the digital values, of measured powers and on frequency responses (201, 202, . . . , 20n; FIG. 2) of the filters.
