A NIST scientist working with staff from Ohio University, examined how time-base distortion causes nonlinear distortion of the electrical waveforms measured by digital sampling instruments, such as digital voltmeters and multimeters, sampling waveform recorders and oscilloscopes.
He will lead the introduction and support of new integrated circuits and related products built on Optichron's proprietary Turbolinear[TM] NSP technology, which eliminates the naturally-occurring nonlinear distortion that degrades all types of signals.
Turbolinear(TM) signal processing technology is Optichron's proprietary approach to correcting nonlinear distortion that occurs in communications channels and mixed-signal environments.
