Abstract

Described are a filter characteristic measuring method and system capable of measuring a gain of an analog filter adapted in a DUT (Device Under Test) and a frequency response at a high speed, wherein the filter characteristic measuring method includes the steps of generating an impulse signal; applying the impulse signal to the DUT having an analog filter through a digital channel; and measuring a gain of the analog filter in the DUT and a frequency characteristic by using an output of the analog filter.

1. 1. A system for measuring a characteristic of a filter in a DUT employing an analog filter, said system comprising: a digital channel for providing an impulse signal without applying a sine wave to the analog filter of the DUT; a digitizer for receiving an output signal of the analog filter in response to the impulse signal so as to measure the characteristic of the filter; and a controller for controlling the digital channel and the digitizer, wherein the digitizer comprises: an anti-aliasing filter for antialiasing-filtering an output of the analog filter; an analog to digital (A/D) converter for converting a filter output outputted from the anti-aliasing filter into digital data; a memory for capturing the digital data outputted from the A/D converter at a determined storage region; a digital signal processor (DSP) for processing in signal the digital data captured at the memory; and a digital filter for receiving a process signal outputted from the DSP and digitally filtering the process signal.
