Measuring a value by definition seems to be the best solution for getting the
most precise results. In this paper, it is shown that by changing the
general definition of root mean square (RMS) and average value of a periodic
signal, their measurement can be improved. When measuring RMS with
asynchronous sampling, it was observed that results were scattered around
two values, and it was found that the main cause for this was initial
sampling time. Redefining the RMS value has been proposed in order to
increase the efficiency of the asynchronous method. After comparing the
results based on general and proposed definition for RMS value, it was
observed that there was significantly less scattering of results and higher
accuracy. The simulation proved that the application of the proposed
definition of RMS gives more accurate and precise results than the general
definition for analog to digital (AD) converters with both lower and higher
resolution.
