  • Systems and methods for removing images and spurs from measured radio frequency (RF) signals
    Patent number: 10044387
    Abstract: Measurement systems and methods are provided for performing preselection to remove images and spurs from a signal being measured that automatically determines a threshold value that is used in the preselection algorithm. Using the automatically-determined threshold value in the preselection algorithm improves image and spur removal from the final trace that is displayed on the display device of the measurement system by trading off the risk of images or spurs being contained in the final trace against the average level of noise bias.

  • Systems and methods for providing signal analysis data
    Patent number: 8860400
    Abstract: A method for displaying signal analysis data comprises performing a plurality of sweep operations upon a received signal. With the sweep operations, spectral analysis is performed upon a first frequency band of the received signal. Displays are rendered of data generated from the spectral analysis in the first band and a second band different from the first band simultaneously, and the displays in the first band and the second bands are updated according to the sweep operations.
