Abstract:
A method for detecting oscillation in a signal coupling device includes at least one oscillation detection step. The oscillation detection step includes the steps of determining an undamped signal level of a signal on a signal path of the signal coupling device in a first step, reducing a gain of the signal path in a second step, and determining a damped signal level of the signal on the signal path and a deviation between the undamped signal level and the damped signal level at least once in a third step. An oscillation is detected if at least one deviation determined in the third step of the at least one oscillation detection step is higher than or equal to a predetermined oscillation threshold value. A device for detecting oscillation in a signal coupling device and a signal coupling device are also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for detecting oscillation in a signal coupling device, the method comprising the following steps:\n carrying out at least one oscillation detection step including:\n determining an undamped signal level of a signal on a signal path of the signal coupling device in a first step; \n reducing a gain of the signal path in a second step; \n repeatedly determining a damped signal level of the signal on the signal path and a deviation between the undamped signal level and the damped signal level in a third step; \n detecting an oscillation if all deviations determined in the third step of the at least one oscillation detection step are higher than or equal to a predetermined oscillation threshold value; repeatedly performing the oscillation detection step, and detecting an oscillation if at least one or all deviations determined in the third step of each of the oscillation detection steps is or are higher than the predetermined oscillation threshold value; and starting the oscillation detection upon an occurrence of at least one of:\n a signal level of a signal on a signal path of the signal coupling device being higher than a predetermined starting threshold value, or \n a time derivative of the signal level being higher than a predetermined signal edge threshold.
