Abstract: A test equipment has a signal input/signal output and a use-site calibration unit for determining a user-site compensation function. The user-site compensation function has a compensation magnitude function and a compensation Hilbert phase function. The calibration unit has a level meter and a calculator. The level meter is configured to measure a magnitude characteristic of the electrical signal, the magnitude characteristic being the basis for the determination of the compensation Hilbert phase function. The calculator is configured to determine a Hilbert phase characteristic of the electrical signal based on a Hilbert transformation of a function dependent on the measured magnitude characteristic and to determine the compensation Hilbert phase function on the basis of the Hilbert phase characteristic.

Abstract: Apparatus (100) and method for providing active motion compensation control of an articulated gangway (200) which comprises at least one fixed part fixedly mounted on a sea going vessel, a movable part being movable relative to the fixed part, and at least one actuator for moving the movable part relative to the fixed part. A first position reference device provides position and attitude information (m) of the vessel referenced to earth. A second position reference device provides position and attitude information (y) of the movable part referenced to the gangway. An actuator driver generates an actuator control output in response to a regulator signal (R). An active motion compensation controller device receives the position and attitude information m and y, an operator control input (J), and the velocity information (y{dot over (y)}) of the movable part. A differential kinematic (DiffKin) device compute and outputs a current position (p) and velocity (v) of the gangway endpoint from m and y.
