Abstract

A coherent sampling method and apparatus in which synchronizing signal is synchronously obtained from an input signal. The synchronizing signal repetition time period is measured and thereby the clock cycle time, which executes a coherent sampling for the input signal, is sought. A clock generator generates the clock sought and because the sampling clock being optimized for the input signal is used, no waveform missing phenomena happens and a reproduced waveform is immediately displayable.
