              PRBS can be selected; it is recommended to produce a perturbation
              between 5% and 10% of the steady-state operating point as explained earlier.

              2.6.2.1.2 Data Acquisition
              While PRBS is being generated and injected, the current and voltage sig-
              nals at the impedance measurement point are sampled with a sampling
              rate that can be chosen. The acquired time window during which PRBS
              is injected and voltages and currents are measured can also be chosen.
              The voltage and current samples require to be directly written in the
              memory according to a “First-In First-Out” (FIFO) architecture which
              allows buffering the sampled values and processing them as a batch after
              the data acquisition (DAQ) is completed. The PRBS signal is only
              injected during the DAQ phase and turned off immediately after the
              complete time window is acquired.

              2.6.2.1.3 Fast Fourier Transform
              The proper voltage and current serve to build the impedance to be iden-
              tified. Voltage and current spectra are calculated by performing an FFT
              algorithm. The type of windowing can be selected.


              2.6.2.1.4 Calculation of Nonparametric Impedance
              Dividing voltage and current spectra yields the nonparametric grid
              impedance as follows

              where v½nŠ and i½nŠ are the voltage and current samples. The nonparamet-
              ric impedance consists of N complex data points:
