METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTIMUM SAMPLING FREQUENCY, AND A POWER ANALYZER PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

A method for determining an optimum sampling frequency to be performed by a power analyzer includes the following computer-implemented steps: sampling a time domain signal to obtain a sampling signal according to a predetermined sampling frequency; obtaining two reference sampling signals using higher and lower sampling frequencies compared to the predetermined sampling frequency; transforming the sampling signal and the reference sampling signals to frequency domain signals; computing a sum-of-amplitudes for each of the three frequency domain signals; estimating a minimum sum-of-amplitudes value and a corresponding re-sampling frequency; obtaining a new reference sampling signal using the re-sampling frequency; transforming the new reference sampling signal to a frequency domain signal, and computing a sum-of-amplitudes therefor; and re-estimating the minimum sum-of-amplitudes value and the corresponding re-sampling frequency. The re-sampling frequency that conforms with a predetermined convergence standard is the optimum sampling frequency.
