Considerations for identification of prominent discrete tonesof time-varying noise of ITE

摘要

Noise test codes for ITE (information technology equipment), ISO 7779 and ECMA-74 specify,rnin their informative annex D, two metrics for prominent discrete tones; tone-to-noise ratio andrnprominence ratio. Both of these metrics have a basic assumption so that the noise emission ofrnquestion is stationary and can be characterized by only single time-averaged spectrum during thernoperation of interest. However, some real noise emissions of ITE occasionally are apparentlyrnnon-stationary, and raise some related issues. This paper discusses the possibility to expand thernprocedures to time-varying noise from ITE.
