ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS PARAMETRIC MEASUREMENT: A NEW APPROACH IN ELECTRICAL METROLOGY

José Carlos Oliveira, Diamantino Silva Freitas, Artur Capelo Cardoso

Abstract

The measurement of electrical quantities in electronic circuits is inscribed in the non-parametric world for a long time. Multimeters, Oscilloscope and Network Analysers are the preferred tools used by engineers. Parametric identification allows a new step in circuit characterization. This approach opens new perspectives in the process of electronic circuit’s design. The present paper presents a solution to the problem of parametric characterization. To allow the simulation and validation of the results a new simulation tool is also presented. The proposed simulation solution uses modified off-the-shelf standard software packages, integrates them closely, offering an expeditious way of bringing mathematical postprocessing power to a standard electronic simulation package, in the framework of circuit design and characterization or measurement.
