Patent number: 12155447Abstract: A method is provided for determining segmented partition capture area by using a minimum detectable signal and a maximum interfering signal calculated from a driving point impedance. A signal channel of an analog-to-digital converter is selected and then a signal channel of a low-noise amplifier is selected in order to reduce the noise for the system using the method. The maximum value of the analog-to-digital noise and the minimum value of the analog-to-digital converter input signal sinewave signal are determined.
