Abstract

A harmonic analyzer using a short sampling window eliminates truncation artifacts in the sampling of an AC power waveform by equating the length of the sample period to a period of the sampled waveform. The period of the AC power waveform is estimated from the waveform and used to produce a set of "resampled" points evenly spaced within that period as estimated from the sampled. By performing a spectrum analysis on the resampled points, artifacts at the harmonic intervals are reduced to zero.
