Branch circuit determination with synchronous correlation
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for relating a data processing system with a power branch circuit, the method comprising:
- combining, to form a combination signal, a second signal with a power signal, the power signal including a first power usage by the data processing system and a second power usage by a modulating signal;
synchronizing the second signal with the modulating signal in the power signal;
determining whether an amplitude of a frequency of the second signal is increasing in the combined signal over a period; and
relating, responsive to the determining being affirmative, the data processing system with the power branch circuit.

Abstract
A method for relating a data processing system with a power branch circuit is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A second signal is combined with a power signal to form a combination signal, the power signal including a first power usage by the data processing system and a second power usage by a modulating signal. The second signal is synchronized with the modulating signal in the power signal. A determination is made whether an amplitude of a frequency of the second signal is increasing in the combined signal over a period. Responsive to the determining being affirmative, the data processing system is related with the power branch circuit.
