Abstract:
1. A method for improving the resolution of an analog signal relative to a digital signal, the analog and digital signals representative of a numerical value, the method comprising: forming, from one or more sensors operatively coupled with an AC electrical service, one or more first analog signals representative of at least a voltage or a current of the AC electrical service; converting the one or more first analog signals into one or more first digital signals representative of the one or more analog signals; receiving the one or more first digital signals; determining, from at least one of the one or more first digital signals a value of a parameter of the AC electrical service; transmitting a second digital signal indicative of the value of the parameter of the AC electrical service, the second digital signal comprising a plurality of datagrams, each datagram having a first resolution; and receiving the second digital signal indicative of the value of the parameter of the AC electrical service, wherein the plurality of datagrams have an average value indicative of the value of the parameter, the average value having a second resolution exceeding the first resolution.
