Abstract

An interleaving AD conversion type waveform digitizer apparatus includes, in a case where the number of interleaving ways is N that is equal to or larger than two, N AD converters connected to a structure for interleaving. The sampling timings of the respective AD converters are predetermined timings corresponding to the interleaving structure so as to allow successive outputs. The digitizer receives a signal to be measured output from a device under test and performs quantization. The time-series data from the AD converters are subjected to Fourier Transform by a butterfly operation technique. The digitizer apparatus further includes a window function multiplier for determining a coefficient based on a phase error, and a butterfly operation unit for performing a butterfly operation by inserting a phase correction coefficient.
