Abstract
An electrical circuit includes a signal processing chain and a controller. The signal processing chain includes an integrator configured to integrate an input signal over an integration time. The controller is connected to a signal output of the signal processing chain to receive and evaluate an output signal of the signal processing chain. The controller is further configured to adapt the integration time based on the output signal.
Claims17
An electrical circuit comprising:
- a signal processing chain comprising an integrator configured to integrate an input signal over an integration time;
- and
- a controller connected to a signal output of the signal processing chain to receive and evaluate an output signal of the signal processing chain and configured to adapt the integration time based on the output signal.
The electrical circuit according to 1, wherein the controller comprises a phase discriminator configured to evaluate the output signal regarding phase errors, and wherein the controller adapts the integration time such that the phase errors are minimized.
A method for signal processing comprising:
- integrating an input signal over an integration time by means of a signal processing chain which comprises an integrator;
- receiving and evaluating an output signal of the signal processing chain;
- and
- adapting the integration time based on the output signal.
A non-transitory digital storage medium having a computer program stored thereon to perform a method for signal processing comprising:
- integrating an input signal over an integration time by means of a signal processing chain which comprises an integrator;
- receiving and evaluating an output signal of the signal processing chain;
- and
- adapting the integration time based on the output signal,
- when said computer program is run by a computer.
