RF/mm-Wave Peak Detector with High-Dynamic Range Calibration
An integrated circuit (IC) is provided with a plurality of diode based mm-wave peak voltage detectors (PVD)s. During a testing phase, a multi-point low frequency calibration test is performed on one or more of the PVDs to determine and store a set of alternating current (AC) coefficients. During operation of the IC, a current-voltage sweep is performed on a selected one of the PVDs to determine a process and temperature direct current (DC) coefficient. A peak voltage produced by the PVD in response to a high frequency radio frequency (RF) signal is measured to produce a first measured voltage. An approximate power of the RF signal is calculated by adjusting the first measured voltage using the DC coefficient and the AC coefficient.

ENVELOPE DETECTION CIRCUIT FOR DETECTION OF OPENING ANGLE OF A MOVABLE MEMS MIRROR
An electronic device includes an analog to digital converter receiving an analog mirror sense signal from an oscillating mirror and generating a digital mirror sense signal therefrom, and a digital signal processing block. The digital signal processing block cooperates with the analog to digital converter to take a first sample of the digital mirror sense signal at a first time where a derivative of capacitance of the digital mirror sense signal crosses zero, take a second sample of the digital mirror sense signal at a second time between a peak of the digital mirror sense signal and the first time, and take a third sample of the digital mirror sense signal at a third time after the digital mirror sense signal has reached a minimum. Control circuitry determines an opening angle of the oscillating mirror as a function of the first, second, and third samples.

Data processing method and the measurement device
A data processing method and a measurement device is provided in which an electromagnetic wave radiates toward an object to be measured and measurement data obtained by measuring reflected wave of the electromagnetic wave reflected from the object to be measured is processed. First processing data S(k.sub.x, k.sub.y, ) is acquired by performing discrete Fourier transform (DFT) relating to an x-coordinate component and a y-coordinate component on measurement data s(x, y, ). Then, an angular frequency is converted into a kz component after extending a range from which a ky component can vary, thereby calculating second processing data S(kx, ky, kz). Then, the second processing data is subjected to inverse Fourier transform to calculate data f(x, y, z) of reflexibility of the object to be measured. In the extension of the ky component, local maximum value processing and a process of suppressing generation of an aliasing component using a ratio are performed.
