Abstract: A signal analyzer for nuclear magnetic flowmeters is provided. The signal analyzer can be placed in a power signal path between a signal generator that generates an electric excitation signal and an electrical load. The signal analyzer includes a power signal line in the power signal path for the transmission of electrical signals. The signal analyzer also includes a decoupling circuit for decoupling a first signal characterizing the excitation signal occurring in the load and for decoupling of a second signal characterizing the part of the excitation signal reflected at the load. The signal analyzer further includes a first attenuator and a second attenuator. Additionally, the signal analyzer includes a detector for determining the ratio of the magnitude of the first signal to the magnitude of the second signal and for determining the phase difference between the first signal and the second signal.
