METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING A DEAD ZONE IN THE TRANSFER FUNCTION OF A SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM

A dead zone in the transfer function of a signal processing system, such as a VTR, is detected by impressing on the system a test signal that is formed within a predetermined interval from a sinusoidal waveform modulated by an envelope function that reduces to zero at a predetermined time. The exist...

Zusammenfassung:A dead zone in the transfer function of a signal processing system, such as a VTR, is detected by impressing on the system a test signal that is formed within a predetermined interval from a sinusoidal waveform modulated by an envelope function that reduces to zero at a predetermined time. The existence of the dead zone is detected by observing whether the corresponding output signal of the signal processing system has a constant amplitude at times other than the time at which the envelope function is zero.
