Methods and apparatus for measuring relative gain and phase of voltage input signals versus voltage output signals

摘要

A system for accurately measuring frequency response (phase and gain) in either a wireless or in a wired mode of operation is described. When used in either mode, a multiplexing method is employed which allows the use of a narrow channel bandwidth, with a simultaneous improvement in overall accuracy. Cancellation of all linear and time invariant errors, including those of the analog to digital conversion process, is thus accomplished. As a result, the system error only depends on the differential nonlinearity of the channel.
