Abstract: Display areas (W4, W8, W16, W32, W64, W128) have widths corresponding to the band widths determined according to the Walsh lengths and have heights representing the powers. Therefore, which display area corresponds to which Walsh length is known even though the powers of the measurement object channels having different Walsh lengths are combined and the result is displayed. The display areas are arranged in the Paley order, and therefore the display areas do not overlap with one another.

Abstract: An electric power measuring system and method of simple configuration capable of measuring electric power in correspondence to an arbitrary frequency are provided. The QPSK signal is inputted to the spectrum analyzer. The frequency converter converts the QPSK signal into the IF signal. The A/D converter 16 converts the inputted IF signal into the digital data after the band pass filter removes an aliasing component contained in the IF signal. In the electric power calculating device, FIR filters perform a band limiting process, wherein the digital data is passed through the predetermined receiving filter, and extracting process of extracting an in-phase component I or an orthogonal component Q. The square operation devices square I or Q. The adder 25 adds I2 to Q2. Therefore, the electric power is calculated.
