"Semi-automated oscilloscope noise compensation based on power spectral density characterization" was invented by Mark L. Guenther (Portland, Ore.) and Pavel R. Zivny (Portland, Ore.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of dynamically determining an oscilloscope noise characteristic includes retrieving a power spectral density (PSD) model of noise from a storage based upon a current configuration of the oscilloscope, generating a representation of any filtering being applied to a waveform generated by a device under test, using the PSD and the representation...
