Abstract:
Ein Signalmessgerät gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst eine Mehrzahl von Mischern, eine einzelne lokale Signalquelle, eine Differenz-Messeinheit, eine Pegel/Phasen-Messeinheit und eine Differenz-Korrektureinheit. Gemäß dem so konstruierten Signalmessgerät geben eine Mehrzahl von Mischern ein Signal aus, welches eine Frequenz gleich einer Differenz zwischen zwei Eingabefrequenzen aufweist, und eine lokale Signalquelle der Mehrzahl von Mischern eine gemeinsame lokale Signaleingabe zuführt. Eine Differenz-Messeinheit misst eine Pegeldifferenz und eine Phasendifferenz zwischen den Ausgaben der Mehrzahl von Mischern, wenn der Mehrzahl von Mischern eine gemeinsame Korrektursignaleingabe zugeführt wird, und eine Pegel/Phasen-Messeinheit misst den Pegel und die Phase der Ausgabe der Mehrzahl von Mischern, wenn die Eingaben der zu messenden Signale, welche in der Frequenz gleich sind, der Mehrzahl von Mischern zugeführt werden. Eine Differenz-Korrektureinheit korrigiert ein Messergebnis der Pegel/Phasen-Messeinheit basierend auf einem Messergebnis der Differenz-Messeinheit, wenn der Mehrzahl von Mischern eine gemeinsame Eingabe des zu messenden Signals zugeführt wird.

Further, the A/D converter 32 to which the signal that has passed through the mixer 12 is provided and the A/D converter 32 to which the signal to be measured is provided are in common.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network analyzer in which an error is hard to generate even when an ideal terminating resistance does not exist and which measures DUTs in a plurality of ports. SOLUTION: The network analyzer is provided with a power-supply port 8a which is connected to one measuring port 40a of an object 40 to be measured and to which a power supply 9 is connected. The network analyzer is provided with terminating ports 8b to 8n which are connected to ports 40b to 40n, of the object 40 to be measured, other than the measuring port 8a so as to be grounded via grounding resistances 6a, 6b to 6n. The network analyzer is provided with circuit-parameter measuring parts 20a, 20b to 20n which are connected respectively to the port 8a and the ports 8b to 8n and which measure an S parameter regarding the ports 40a, 40b to 40n. The parts 20a, 20b to 20n which are connected to the ports 8b to 8n measure the S parameter regarding the ports 8b to 8n. Thereby, even when the S parameter regarding the ports 8b to 8n cannot be regarded as 0, the S parameter of the object 40, to be measured, comprising a plurality of ports can be measured.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize high switching speed, long service life and a broadband by providing a correction attenuator with a reverse characteristic where attenuation is decreased as frequency becomes higher on the side of giving a step attenuation and using two electronic switches to select a through-side path. SOLUTION: Attenuators(ATT) 20, 30 that vary attenuation from 0 to 60 dB in steps of 20 dB provide an attenuation of 20 dB. A correction attenuator(CATT) 10 has an inverse frequency characteristic, that an attenuation at a frequency of 8 GHz is decreased by 2 dB with respect to 20 dB attenuation. Each attenuation at 8 GHz is selected to be 1.5 dB/8 GHz for the selection of switches SW1-SW6. Thus, the difference of the attenuation between the 6 switches and the 2 switches in operation is 6 dB/8 GHz. In order to set an attenuation of 40 dB, the switches SW1-SW3, the SW6 are thrown to a position of (b) and the switches SW4, SW5 are thrown to a position of (a). Attenuation error of 7 dB/8 GHz is caused with respect to a reference attenuation of 40 dB.
