The invention relates to a
distortion degree measuring
system and method based on correlation operation, and the
system comprises a
signal source which is a to-be-measured
signal source for outputting a mixed waveform comprising a fundamental wave and each
harmonic component; the fundamental wave extraction module is used for separating and extracting a fundamental wave component of which the waveform is a single-frequency
square wave from the
signal to be detected; the phase-locked loop frequency multiplication module is used for receiving the fundamental component and locking and extracting a
sine wave signal containing the fundamental component and a
harmonic component through a phase-locked loop containing a programmable
frequency divider; the correlator module is composed of a multiplier circuit and a low-pass filtering and amplifying circuit, receives a to-be-measured signal serving as an input signal and a
sine wave signal serving as a reference signal, and outputs a direct-current component; and the
single chip microcomputer is configured with the programmable
frequency divider, samples the
direct current component output by the correlator module, calculates the
relative amplitude and the
total harmonic distortion degree of the fundamental wave component and the
harmonic component, and outputs the
total harmonic distortion degree. The beneficial effects are that the measurement
system and the
signal processing method are suitable for signal
harmonic analysis under a complex harmonic environment and a low signal-to-
noise ratio condition, a high-performance processor and a computing power requirement are not needed, and the system takes an analog circuit as a main body and has the advantages of high measurement speed, high accuracy, low system cost and the like.
