Appendix 4 If the Model 9784 DC Power Unit is Installed Appendix 4 If the Model 9784 DC Power Unit is Installed The Model 9784 enables the instrument to be operated from a DC power source such as a battery. When both AC power and the Model 9784 DC Power Unit are connected to the instrument, the AC power source has priority.
Page 378
Appendix 4 If the Model 9784 DC Power Unit is Installed • When using the DC Power Unit, printer specifications change as follows. 1. Maximum paper feed rate is 1 cm/s. (Consequently, real-time printing for continuous recording length operation is available at timebase settings slower than 1 s/div.) 2.
Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Appendix 5 FFT Definitions What is FFT? __________________________________________________ FFT is the abbreviation for Fast Fourier Transform, an efficient method to calcu- late the DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) from a time-domain waveform. Also, the reverse process of transforming frequency data obtained by the FFT back into its original time-domain waveform is called the IFFT (Inverse FFT).
Page 380
Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Representing the above relationship on a complex flat surface produces the fol- lowing figure. Imaginary component 実数部 Real component Linear Time-Invariant Systems __________________________________ Consider a linear time-invariant (LTI) system y(n) that is a response to discrete time-domain signal (n).
Page 381
Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Number of Analysis Points_______________________________________ The FFT functions of this instrument can perform frequency analysis of time- domain waveforms consisting of 1000, 2000, 5000, or 10,000 points. However, when the following conditions are satisfied, previously analyzed data can be reanalyzed with a different number of analysis points.
Page 382
Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Aliasing ______________________________________________________ When the frequency of a signal to be measured is higher than the sampling rate, the observed frequency is lower than that of the actual signal, with certain fre- quency limitations. This phenomena occurs when sampling occurs at a lower fre- quency than that defined by the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, and is called aliasing.
Page 383
Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Anti-Aliasing Filters ____________________________________________ When the maximum frequency component of the input signal is higher than one- half of the sampling frequency, aliasing distortion occurs. To eliminate aliasing distortion, a low-pass filter can be used that cuts frequencies higher than one- half of the sampling frequency.
Page 384
Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Imaging ______________________________________________________ When the instrument is set to a measurement frequency range that requires a higher sampling rate than the maximum capability of the input module, interme- diate data points are interpolated between successive data samples. In this case, the time-domain waveform exhibits a stair-step shape.
Page 385
Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Averaging_____________________________________________________ With the FFT function, averaging is performed according to the following analyti- cal expressions. Averaging in the time domain produces meaningless data if per- formed with inconsistent trigger criteria. 1. Simple Averaging (Time and Frequency Domains) Sequences of acquired data are summed and divided by the number of acquisi- tions.

Appendix 5 FFT Definitions The following figure presents an example of spectral analysis by applying a win- dow function to a time-domain waveform. Using the window function, discontinuous points on the time-domain waveform are eliminated, so the wave shape approaches a line spectrum. When a Blackman-Harris window function is applied to a time-domain waveform (...

Appendix 5 FFT Definitions Flat top window Frequency (1/W) Time-Domain Waveform Spectrum The following example shows input sine waves of 1050 and 1150 Hz analyzed with different window functions. Because the frequencies in this example are close to one another, a rectangular window with a narrow main lobe is able to separate and display both frequencies, but a Hann window with a wide main lobe displays the two as a single spectral component.
