chirp signal and network analyzer
Hello All,
I am creating the simple network analyzer using the general purpose
DAQ board.
Currently I am testing the system using linear chirp (tone with sweeping frequency) excitation signal x. Then I correlate the output of the system y
with x and got estimation of the impulse system response h. FFT it to get
frequency response H
The procedure works because the autocorrelation of x is almost delta
pulse.
I am testing the procedure for several systems and it appears that levels
below -100 dB of the H are not estimated correctly. In other words I have
about 100 dB dynamic range.
I made compensation for the fact that autocorrelation of x is not ideal
delta pulse but still can not improve the accuracy.
I can use the white noise as stimulus and will get much below -100 db but
still think that the chirp should be better choice.
Opinions are well come.
