Measurement and data processing for dynamic characterization

This chapter describes the techniques for measurement and post-processing of dynamic characterization data collected using the methodology described in Chapters 4-7. Measurement is a crucial consideration in performing an effective DPT. The oscilloscope, voltage probes, current sensors, and their connection to the test circuit must be carefully selected and designed. Following the test, the data processing can be implemented with any computation tool or programming language. This chapter discusses the generalized algorithms and methodologies as well as some example code and post-processing results implemented in MATLAB®. These data processing techniques allow the experimenter to analyze the dynamic behavior of the device under test and calculate key device characteristics.
