Patent number: 7315172Abstract: A mechanism for measuring noise densities below the noise floor of a measuring instrument. The measuring instrument may first acquire a fully-averaged reference spectral noise density trace and estimate corresponding reference statistical parameters. Based on the reference statistical parameters, the measuring instrument may construct a reference spectral noise density distribution. The measuring instrument may also acquire a fully-averaged sum spectral noise density trace and estimate corresponding sum statistical parameters. Based on the sum statistical parameters, the measuring instrument may construct a sum spectral noise density distribution. The measuring instrument may extract a spectral noise density distribution from the reference and sum distributions. The measuring instrument may also determine a confidence interval based on a desired confidence level.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2005Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventor: Mohamad A.
