  • Patent number: 8509296
    Abstract: There is provided a spectrum analyzer and a spectrum analysis method capable of promptly performing measurement while preventing the spectrum waveform caused by the fractional spurious components from being displayed. When the width of a designated span (analysis target frequency range) is larger than a boundary value, a reference signal frequency is set to a predetermined reference value, and a loop filter band narrower than a RBW (resolution bandwidth) is selected to thereby make the fractional spurious components be within the RBW and prevent it from being displayed as a spectrum waveform.

  • Patent number: 6799651
    Abstract: A structure for attaching a brake fluid pressure generator to a vehicle. The brake fluid pressure generator is attached to a dash panel provided at the rear side of a damper housing, which divides a compartment of a vehicle into a cabin and an engine room. An installation hole, through which the brake fluid pressure generator is inserted, is formed on the dash panel to one side of the engine. A mounter, which accommodates at least part of the brake fluid pressure generator, is used for detachably attaching the brake fluid pressure generator to the dash panel from the cabin side. Thereby, part of the brake fluid pressure generator is positioned at the rear side of the dash panel, and the outline of the brake fluid pressure generator is positioned so that it might overlap the damper housing when viewed from the fore side direction with respect to the vehicle.
