  • Patent number: 7907017
    Abstract: In a PLL circuit, an oscillation frequency is quickly and accurately locked to a target frequency. There is provided a PLL circuit, including a VCO that controls the frequency of an output signal according to a voltage of an input signal, a loop divider that divides the frequency of a signal, which is acquired by causing a mixer to mix a local signal generated by a local oscillator and the output signal with each other, by N, and a reference frequency divider that divides the frequency of a reference signal, which is output by a reference signal oscillator, by R.

  • Publication number: 20080054880
    Abstract: The level of an output signal output from a device under test is easily adjusted in order to restrain an adverse effect on a result of measuring characteristics of the device under test. A measuring device includes a characteristic measuring unit for measuring characteristics of a device under test based on the output signal output from the device under test, an attenuator for receiving the output signal and adjusting the level of the output signal before supplying it to the characteristic measuring unit, and a level setting unit for setting the degree of the level adjustment of the output signal by the attenuator so as to minimize a measurement error which is caused by the characteristic measurement unit, and changes according to the level of the output signal supplied to the characteristic measuring unit.

  • Patent number: 6861833
    Abstract: A preselector is omitted in a spectrum analyzer, for example, which is used to prevent an image signal from being inputted. In addition, an image signal of a signal which is located outside a range of set-up measured frequencies is suppressed as much as possible. For a range of set-up measured frequencies F1˜F2, and for each of a plurality of intermediate frequencies Fi, the frequency of the sweep signal is swept over a range F1+Fi˜F2+Fi to determine first measured data, and is also swept over a range F1?Fi˜F2?Fi to determine second measured data. The first and the second measured data are compared against each other for each measured frequency point, and if they are equal, the data value obtained or a data value having a minimum value unless they are not of an equal value is delivered to obtain measured data in which image data based on image signals has been suppressed.
