Abstract

For the signal under acquisition which varies monotonically before and after the trigger time, a method for full-digital random sampling employs first sampled data before the trigger time and first sampled data after the trigger time to fit a curve, and obtains an intersection point of triggering level and the fitted curve, then, calculates the time interval between sampled data after the trigger time and the intersection point in the end, reconstructs the original signal, i.e. the signal under acquisition by a time interval of each acquisition. Thus, an analog trigger circuit and a time measurement circuit of conventional random sampling system can be eliminated, that simplifies the circuit design of data acquisition system and decreases its hardware complexity. Moreover, the higher sampling rate for the signal under acquisition is attained, and more waveform details are obtained.
