    摘要: A measurement device (10a) for performing measurements with respect to a device under test (13) is provided. Said measurement device (10a) comprises a port (11a) for receiving a signal from the device under test (13), a signal level modification unit (14) for modifying the corresponding level of the signal in order to form a modified signal, the signal level modification unit (14) being operable in at least a first operation mode and a second operation mode being different from the first operation mode, a receiving unit (15) for receiving and digitizing the modified signal in order to a form a digitized modified signal, and a processing unit (16).
    The signal level of the first operation mode is set, e.g. by an attenuator of the device, such the signal-to-noise-ratio is high but the receiving unit causes non-linearity effects, and the signal level of the second operation mode is set lower, e.g. by an attenuator of the device, such that the receiving unit causes essentially no non-linearity effects.

    摘要: A time error vector is determined using pairs of two closest points of input-referred noise data that straddle respective crossing times indicating when a clock signal representation crosses a threshold value, a slew rate of the clock signal representation, and the crossing times. A system filter is applied to the time error vector in the frequency domain. A first RMS value is determined indicating a jitter value present in the filtered time error vector. A raw clock signal time error vector of the clock signal under test is generated, the system filter is applied to the raw clock signal time error vector in the frequency domain, and a second RMS value indicating a jitter content of the filtered raw clock signal time error vector is determined. The second RMS value is corrected using the first RMS value to thereby generate a jitter measurement compensated for input-referred noise.

    摘要: A measurement is made of jitter present in a jittery clock signal. A digital sinusoid generator circuit clocked by the jittery clock signal generates a pulse density modulation (PDM) signal corresponding to a sinusoid waveform. The PDM signal is converted by a sigma-delta modulator circuit to an oscillating frequency signal with an output of digital values digital values indicative of oscillating frequency signal phase. Responsive to the jittery clock signal, the digital values indicative of oscillating frequency signal phase are sampled. A digital differentiator circuit determines a digital difference between consecutive samples of the digital values indicative of oscillating frequency signal phase. The digital difference is processed by a digital signal processing circuit to generate a frequency spectrum and determine from signal-to-noise ratio a measurement of jitter in the jittery clock signal.

    摘要: A control method and system for filtering power line interference is disclosed. The control method includes the following steps. First, ECG signals are pre-segmented and rectified; then the sinusoidal frequency, amplitude, and phase of the rectified segmented signals are extracted. These estimated sinusoidal parameters from each recorded channel are weighted by their individual signal to noise ratios before being averaged to achieve the optimal powerline frequency, amplitude, and phase. Based on these optimal sinusoidal parameters, the individual sinusoidal waveform is reconstructed and then is subtracted from the corresponding ECG segment, in order to obtain the clean ECG signals. This method of filtering the powerline interference through removal from recorded signals enables accurate measurement without any ringing effect that could lead to signal distortion issues. Thus this invention solves the ringing problem encountered by traditional notch filter techniques when signal amplitude suddenly changes in a measurement.
