Method for obtaining signals in electronic devices by means of interpolation between interpolation point values
First Claim
1. A method for interpolation, comprising the steps of:
- defining interpolation intervals between each adjacent pair of a plurality of original interpolation values;
designating a set of interpolation locations within each said interpolation interval;
assigning a correction step value between each said pair of original values relating to a linear rate of change defined by the respective magnitudes of the original values and their respective distances from said interpolation locations;
calculating interpolation values for each said interpolation location in a given interpolation interval based upon said assigned step values for said given interpolation interval and said interpolation intervals before and after said given interpolation interval; and
,generating an output signal from said original values and said interpolation values.

Abstract
A method is proposed for obtaining signals in electronic devices by means of interpolation between interpolation point values (W0 to W12), the interpolation point values (W0 to W12) being distributed linearly over a region. A number of interpolation values are calculated in each case at a specific interval between the interpolation point values (W0 to W12). The calculation of the interpolation values is then performed as follows: Firstly, a correction step value (a to 1) is determined in each case for an interval bounded by two interpolation point values (W0 to W12) by linear interpolation between these interpolation point values (W0 to W12) . These correction step values (a to 1) are calculated for all intervals. The calculation of the interpolation value in the current interval is then performed such that apart from the correction step value (a to 1) for the current interval use is also made at least of the correction step value (a to 1) of the preceding and/or of the following interval. As a result, the interpolation curve is laid smoothly through the intervals, and pronounced discontinuities in the gradient of the interpolation curve are avoided.
