Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a measurement apparatus that measures an input signal, comprising a plurality of first comparators that each receive the input signal, have a common first reference level set therein, and compare a signal level of the input signal to the first reference level; and a level-crossing timing detecting section that detects a level-crossing timing at which the signal level crosses the first reference level, based on comparison results of the first comparators.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A measurement apparatus that measures an input signal, comprising: a plurality of first comparators that each receive the input signal, and that each have a common first reference level set therein, wherein each of the plurality of first comparators compares a signal level of the input signal to the first reference level; and a level-crossing timing detecting section that detects a level-crossing timing at which the signal level crosses the first reference l…
