Abstract

The present application provides a noise source analysis method including measuring a noise using voltage sensors 2 a and 2 b which are time-synchronized with each other and making an analysis to identify a noise source which is a cause of noise based on data of the noise measured by the voltage sensors 2 a and 2 b.

Claims (18)

1. A noise source analysis method comprising:

measuring a noise using a plurality of sensors which are time-synchronized with each other;

making an analysis to identify a noise source which is a cause of the noise based on data of the noise measured by the plurality of sensors, wherein the analysis is to determine that the noise is generated by induction of an original noise based on a waveform of the noise measured by the plurality of sensors, the induction being caused by wires; and

determining whether or not the noise is generated by the induction based on the waveform of the noise.

2. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis is to determine whether or not the noise source is located in a space between detection locations of the plurality of sensors based on a time difference between times at which the noise is measured by the plurality of sensors respectively and a distance between the detection locations of the plurality of sensors.

3. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis is to determine a position of the noise source located in a space between detection locations of the plurality of sensors based on a time difference between times at which the noise is measured by the plurality of sensors respectively and a distance between the detection locations of the plurality of sensors.

4. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis is to determine a position at which the original noise causes the noise to be generated by the induction based on a time difference between times at which the noise is measured by the plurality of sensors respectively and a distance between detection locations of the plurality of sensors.

5. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis is to determine a propagation direction of the noise based on times at which the plurality of sensors measure the noise.

6. The noise source analysis method according to claim claim 1 , wherein the analysis is to determine a propagation direction of the original noise of induced noise based on the waveform of noise.

7. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis is to determine a position at which the original noise causes the noise to be generated by the induction based on a difference in times at which the plurality of sensors measure the noise respectively and a distance between detection locations by the plurality of sensors.

8. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the analysis is to determine a distance of a section of the wires where the original noise causes the noise by the induction based on the waveform of the noise.

9. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors measure the noise at least at three locations, and

the analysis is to determine a position of the noise source based on at least two time differences between times at which the plurality of sensors measure the noise respectively.

10. The noise source analysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors measure the noise at least at three locations, and

the analysis is to determine a position at which the original noise causes the noise to be generated by the induction based on at least two time differences between times at which the plurality of sensors measure the noise respectively.

11. A noise source analysis apparatus comprising:

a plurality of sensors that are time-synchronized with each other to measure a noise; and

analysis means for making an analysis to identify a noise source which is a cause of the noise based on data of the noise measured by the plurality of sensors respectively, wherein the analysis is to determine that the noise is generated by induction of an original noise based on a waveform of the noise measured by the plurality of sensors, the induction being caused by wires, the analysis means for determining whether or not the noise is generated by the induction based on the waveform of the noise.
