Abstract:
Logarithm amplification of received signal is done. Amplified output is detected and converted into digital value which is subjected to antilog conversion for every display point (i) in the frequency sweeping width. Electric power value for every sweep is averaged and logarithm conversion of main power value for every display point is done. An Independent claim is also included for spectrum analyzer.
Abstract:
A power spectrum waveform is obtained by logarithmically amplifying a signal received by a frequency-sweep operation, detecting the amplified output of each frequency sweep, converting the detected output into a digital signal value in decibels, and converting this digital signal value into an antilogarithmic power value in watts for each display point within the width of the frequency sweep. Upon completion of the frequency sweep operation, the power values which have been converted into antilogarithmic values for each frequency sweep are averaged for each display point, the average power values are converted into logarithmic values, and the logarithmic values are displayed as a spectrum display.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To eliminate distortion of a signal by utilizing a coil forming a tuning filter as a signal fetch transmission line in a low frequency area when the tuning filter is not in use and using the tuning filter to fetch a signal in a high frequency area when the tuning filter is in operation. CONSTITUTION:Semiconductor switches 30, 31 area provided to switch a YIG tuning filter 21 into the active and inactive state. When a sawtooth voltage inputted to a switch control circuit 32 is a reference voltage VC or below as shown in figure, the semiconductor switches 30, 31 are controlled to be in the OFF state. Thus, the YIG tuning filter 21 is controlled to be inactivated and coils 23, 24 simply act like signal transmission sources. When the sawtooth voltage exceeds the reference voltage VC, the switch control circuit 32 outputs a negative voltage as shown in figure B, and the semiconductor switches 30, 31 are controlled to be in the ON state to connect connecting points A, B to a common level with respect to a high frequency. Then the YIG tuning filter 21 is active and each frequency component of a signal inputted to an input terminal 20A is selectively fetched in tuning with the frequency sweep of a spectrum analyzer 10.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly carry out the spectrum display of power even for an input signal with a large dynamic range by allowing the received signal to be subjected to logarithmic amplification, detection, and A/D conversion, and by performing antilogarithm conversion to the power value of the dimension of a watt for each display point in the width of frequency sweeping for obtaining an average power value. SOLUTION: An antilogarithm conversion part 31 converts a measurement value for the ith display point to the antilogarithm of the dimension of a watt by the nth sweeping. A digital value being converted by an A/D converter 17 is stored into a memory 18, and the digital value is converted by a dBm conversion part 32 for converting to the antilogarithm with dBm (decibel value) as a unit. An average value calculation part 34 adds the antilogarithm being converted by the antilogarithm conversion part 31 to the ith antilogarithm addition value up to the previous sweeping in an addition value memory 33, and at the same time divides the addition value of the antilogarithm up to nth time for obtaining an average value. A logarithm conversion part 35 calculates the logarithm of the average value for obtaining the display data of a display point (i), for storing into a logarithmic value memory 37, and at the same time for displaying at the display point (i) of a display 24.
