Abstract

A method and system are provided for reducing noise in a time domain waveform of a signal under test (SUT). The method includes performing cross-correlation of multiple first complex signals and multiple second complex signals, respectively, from the SUT to provide multiple cross-correlated signals, respectively, where the cross-correlated signals have amplitude components and no phase components from the SUT, and where the first and second complex signals include uncorrelated noise, respectively. The method further includes determining an average of the cross-correlated signals to provide an average cross-correlated signal with reduced uncorrelated noise; obtaining a representative phase component from one of the first complex signals or the second complex signals; and combining the representative phase component with the average cross-correlated signal to provide a representative complex signal corresponding to the SUT with reduced uncorrelated noise.
