Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure a communication state so as to easily discriminate a channel in which an error takes place or the like. SOLUTION: A channel discrimination section 18 discriminates a channel used for a signal and an error discrimination section 20 discriminates whether or not an error takes place in the signal. An error log recording section 24 records the results of discrimination above. Then an error occurrence frequency measurement section 26 can measure the frequency of occurrence of errors in each channel on the basis of recording contents of the error log recording section 24.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate synchronization of communication equipment using a frequency hopping system with an apparatus for measuring the communication equipment. SOLUTION: An applying frequency signal having an applying frequency which is used by the frequency hopping system is high, and communication of a packet 42 has been started. A trigger is generated when 0 bit (top of a pay load 42b) being the n-th bit from the start time point is communicated, and measurement is started, thereby facilitating the synchronization of the communication equipment with a measuring apparatus.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily correct the error when a measurement device is connected to Bluetooth communication device. SOLUTION: A loss for coupling a terminal (1) with terminals (2) to (8) is recorded in a coupling loss recording part 40. A signal level rise part 60 reads out the loss from the recording part 40 and raises the signal level of a communication signal generating device 30 by the loss so as to correct the loss for coupling. Consequently, since there is no need for measuring the loss for coupling, each time test is performed, the loss for coupling easily corrected. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically adjust the center frequency of a signal to be measured at the time of measuring the harmonic component of the signal by impressing a voltage signal which makes the center frequency of the signal equal to the phase of a reference signal upon a Gaussian filter 4. SOLUTION: A Gaussian filter 4 generates a center frequency based on a reference signal inputted from an oscillator 2 through a buffer 3 and, when a signal to be measured is inputted from an input terminal 1 through a switch 5a, the filter, 4 mixes the center frequency with the harmonic component of the signal to be measured and outputs the mixed signal to a comparator 6. The comparator 6 compares the mixed signal with a reference signal inputted through a buffer 3b , fetches the shifting amount of the phase as a voltage value, and inputs the voltage value to a CPU 11 through an amplifier 9 and an A/D converter 10. The CPU 11 outputs a voltage signal which makes the phase of the center frequency generated by the filter 4 equal to that of the reference signal to the filter 4. Therefore, the phase of the center frequency can be adjusted automatically even when a different signal to be measured is inputted.

PURPOSE:To improve noise figure characteristics and to widen the dynamic range of a logarithmic amplifier circuit by making the gain of the limiting amplifier of an initial stage large. CONSTITUTION:A logarithmic transformation circuit receives input signals Vinput and signals logarithmically transformed by a limiting amplifier part 20 constituted of the serially connected plural stages of the limiting amplifiers 21-26 are detected in a detection part 74, quantized in an AD converter 76 and converted to digital signals Dad. Thereafter, a correction operation is performed by a correction value from a logarithmic correction table 79 in a logarithmic scale correction part 78 and logarithmically transformed signals are outputted. Then, the limiting amplifier 21 for which the gain setting of the initial stage of the limiting amplifier part 20 is turned to be more than 16dB and less than 30dB is provided. By making the gain of the limiting amplifier 21 of the initial stage large, the improvement effect of approximately 4-8dB for the noise figure characteristics is obtained. Thus, the dynamic range of this logarithmic amplifier circuit is improved.

PURPOSE:To easily perform a correction operation, to eliminate a tracking error clue to a change in ambient temperature and to perform a stable measurement by a method wherein an oscillator is swept, a calibrating operation is performed and the center frequency of an IF filter is found by a control part. CONSTITUTION:The automatic correction circuit is constituted of a synthesizer 13, a variable oscillator 21, mixers 12, 15, 20, a fixed oscillator 17, a switch 14, an attenuator 16, a BPF 16 and a control part 23. Then, in a calibrating operation to find a center frequency, the switch 14 is changed over to the side of a tracking generator (TG) in advance, the oscillator 21 is swept, and the level of an output 34 at every sweep frequency is read out. As a result, the frequency of a maximum output level point is found. The frequency is found as an IF center frequency at a present ambient temperature and in a present apparatus state. The center frequency which has been found is set in the oscillator 21, the switch 14 is returned to the side of a measurement, and the calibrating operation is completed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To provide a function to carry out mean square measurement of waveform within a short time to a spectrum analyzer. CONSTITUTION:In a zero span mode of a spectrum analyzer, an amplitude sample from an A/D transducer 19 is selected by a switching circuit 25, given to an additional averaging part 26 to obtain an additional mean value A1 of amplitude samples per every 600 samples and these processes are repeated. Together with already obtained additional mean, each of the additional mean value A1 is square-avaraged by an square averaging part 27 and each square mean value Ri is saved in turns in an image memory 21.

PURPOSE:To increase the ease with which a spectrum analyzer is used by automating adjustment of a variable attenuator at the input end of RF signals so that a mixer is not saturated. CONSTITUTION:A variable attenuator control circuit 19 is provided to detect the input signal level of a mixer 3 and control a variable attenuator 2 so that the level is almost at the maximum allowable input level. The circuit 19 performs envelope detection of part of the outputs of the variable attenuator 2 using a detector 21 and this detected wave output is input to a comparator 23 where it is compared with reference voltage Er and the variable attenuator 2 is controlled by the output of the comparator 23. A control circuit 12 detects a maximum peak value from data for one screen which are loaded on image memory 11, and can control the gain of a step amplifier 7 so that the peak value is at the maximum of the screen display level range.
