Electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurement is essential in wireless communications to avoid both performance degradation and serious fault failures. In this paper, we present the design of an acquisition system for a time-domain EMI measurement receiver intended for monitoring potential EMI. The platform consists of both hardware and software systems. The hardware system is constructed using a modular design method and contains a conditioning module, a data acquisition and processing module, and a clock generation module. The software system provides an interactive interface for device operation and offers an automatic sampling/processing procedure that is developed on a slot 0 controller. An additional outstanding feature of the proposed system is its high dynamic range. We propose a novel multi-stage architecture and a data reconstruction algorithm that are combined to achieve large dynamic range acquisition. The proposed acquisition architecture breaks through the dynamic range limitations of conventional analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) on a significant scale. The implemented system is able to capture an analog waveform with a 300 MHz bandwidth and a 1 GS/s sampling rate. The experimental results show that the maximum dynamic range achieved is 96.43 dB, which is far greater than the single ADC dynamic range of 52 dB.
