  • Patent number: 5210483
    Abstract: A measuring unit converts a measuring signal into an intermediate frequency band of a predetermined bandwidth and detects the intermediate frequency band while a reception frequency is set variable by variably controlling a local oscillation frequency of a local oscillator. A waveform memory stores the magnitude of a detection signal output from the measuring unit in correspondence with the frequency. An analyzing unit analyzes a frequency component included in a signal to be measured, on the basis of a storage value of the waveform memory. An analysis target frequency data setting unit sets frequency data of a desired analysis target frequency or interval frequency data thereof.

  • Patent number: 5162724
    Abstract: A spectrum analyzer comprising various components. In the analyzer, a high-frequency signal processing circuit frequency-converts an object signal including waves recurring for a short period of time, into an intermediate-frequency signal, by using a local oscillation signal swept continuously over a desired range of frequencies, and thereby outputs a frequency spectrum of the object signal. A demodulator demodulates the frequency spectrum output by the high-frequency signal processing circuit. A selection signal supplying section supplies a selection signal for selecting that portion of the spectrum output by the demodulator, which lies waves to be analyzed. A control section outputs said portion of the spectrum output by the demodulator, in accordance with the selection signal output from the selection signal supplying section. A display displays the frequency spectrum output by the control section.

  • Patent number: 5119018
    Abstract: A frequency conversion section sweeps an object signal within a desired measurement frequency range, thereby frequency-converting the object signal. A peak detector detects a peak of an output from the frequency converting section. A measurement detector measures and detects the output from the frequency conversion section simultaneously with the peak detection by the peak detector. The measurement detector has an output characteristic lower than an output characteristic of the peak detector. A display displays an output from the peak detector and an output from the measurement detector on a single display screen, in synchronism with the sweeping by the frequency conversion section, with these outputs of the peak detector and the measurement detector being plotted along an axis representative of frequencies. In another mode of the invention, an alarm device indicates the fact that an output from the peak detector has exceeded a predetermined allowable limit level.

  • Patent number: 5083282
    Abstract: A transition state detecting device of the invention is a device which is applied to the output stage of a detecting circuit such as a spectrum analyzer so as to display the waveform of an input signal in the form of a parameter and evaluate its characteristics. In order to perform real-time, quantitative measurement, the device includes a differentiating means (1) for differentiating an input signal and outputting a differential signal representing a transition state of the input signal, and a detecting means (2) for detecting the peak value of the differential signal output from the differentiating means and outputting a parameter corresponding to the transition state of the input signal.

  • Patent number: 4940931
    Abstract: A timing signal generating circuit generates a timing signal for each sweep timing period. An address generating circuit generates an address corresponding to each sweep timing period and to the magnitude of the input signal, each time it receives the timing signal. An image memory stores data in the address generated by the address generating circuit. A computing unit performs, upon each receipt of the timing signal, a predetermined computation on that data stored in the image memory and generates a result of computation. The computation result represents the frequency of the same address generated for each sweep timing period. A display unit displays the input signal with a luminance level corresponding to the computation result.

  • Patent number: 4878194
    Abstract: A digital signal processing apparatus includes an A/D converter for converting an analog input signal to digital data, a memory having a plurality of memory blocks for storing the digital data, and a processor for processing digital data when read out from the memory. A first controller cyclically stores output digital data from the A/D converter in the blocks in the memory in a predetermined order and outputs the stored data to the processor every time a first command is generated by a first command generator. A second controller inhibits updating of a specific block designated by a second command generator, and outputs the data from the specific block to the processor every time a second command is generated by the second command generator.
