Abstract

An amplitude computing apparatus includes: a mean or median value computing unit configured to compute a mean or median value of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally; a mode value computing unit configured to compute a mode value of the distribution of the input signal; and an amplitude computing unit configured to compute a difference between the mean or median value and the mode value as an amplitude of the input signal.

Claims (28)

1 . An amplitude computing apparatus, comprising:

a mean or median value computing unit configured to compute a mean or a median value of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally;

a mode value computing unit configured to compute a mode value of the distribution of the input signal; and

an amplitude computing unit configured to compute a difference between the mean or median value and the mode value as an amplitude of the input signal.

2 . An amplitude computing apparatus, comprising:

a standard deviation computing unit configured to compute a standard deviation of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally; and

an amplitude computing unit configured to compute a value of √2 times the standard deviation as an amplitude of the input signal.

3 . An amplitude computing apparatus, comprising:

a quartile computing unit configured to compute quartiles of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally; and

an amplitude computing unit configured to compute a value of √2 times a difference between either of a first quartile or a third quartile among the quartiles and a second quartile as an amplitude of the input signal.

4 . An amplitude computing apparatus, comprising:

a quartile computing unit configured to compute quartiles of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally;

a mean value computing unit configured to compute a mean value of the distribution of the input signal; and

an amplitude computing unit configured to compute a value of √2 times a difference between either of a first quartile or a third quartile among the quartiles and the mean value as an amplitude of the input signal.

5 . An amplitude computing method, comprising:

computing a mean or a median value of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally;

computing a mode value of the distribution of the input signal; and

computing a difference between either of the mean or median value and the mode value as an amplitude of the input signal.

6 . An amplitude computing method, comprising:

computing a standard deviation of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally; and

computing a value of √2 times the standard deviation as an amplitude of the input signal.

7 . An amplitude computing method, comprising:

computing quartiles of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally; and

computing a value of √2 times a difference between either of a first quartile or a third quartile among the quartiles and a second quartile as an amplitude of the input signal.

8 . An amplitude computing method, comprising:

computing quartiles of a distribution of an input signal that changes sinusoidally;
