Abstract

To perform digital processing of cyclical waveform signals that include random noise with high accuracy and high reliability without being practically affected by the noise. This is a waveform signal processor into which cyclical waveform signals are input and which outputs corresponding signals. It samples a cyclical waveform signal a plurality of times and then, based upon the obtained sampling values, it performs a Fourier Transform for all the various cycles. Next, the phase angle of a pre-selected frequency component in the Fourier series is determined based upon the Fourier Transform. Then a sampling point at the same phase for all cycles is specified by using the phase angle as a reference. The average of the sampling values at the same phase is calculated and output.
