It may, however, also lead to errors that are not immediately recognizable, caused by spectral leakage due to imperfect phase-locking in measurement systems. This paper analyses this problem for low-frequency AC power measurements. The conclusion is that if any spectral decomposition is made, care should be taken not to use excessive measurement times, and that the phase-locked loop bandwidth should be kept as low as possible.","PeriodicalId":121798,"journal":{"name":"Conference Digest Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115366107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
