  • Publication number: 20240428983
    Abstract: A coil component includes a core, a wire, and outer electrodes. The core includes a winding core and a pair of flanges. A first axis orthogonally intersects a central axis. A first positive direction is a direction directed toward one side along the first axis. A first negative direction is directed oppositely to the first positive direction. Each outer electrode covers a surface of each flange, the surface facing in the first positive direction. The wire includes a body portion wound around the winding core and a bonded portion at each end of the wire and coupled to each outer electrode. In a cross section that orthogonally intersects the central axis and includes the bonded portion, the end of the bonded portion facing in the first negative direction is further in the first negative direction from the end of the outer electrode facing in the first positive direction.

  • Patent number: 8368382
    Abstract: A spectrum analyzer includes: two sets of measuring units having mixers, local oscillators, and IF sections for separately measuring frequency characteristics of two input signals; a trigger control section which generates a trigger signal for specifying a measurement start timing in each of the two sets of measuring units; a sweep control section which simultaneously sends an instruction to the two local oscillators when a trigger signal is inputted and performs a sweep control so that the two local oscillators output local oscillation signals of the same frequency at the same timing. This provides a frequency characteristics measuring device which can simplify the configuration for performing a measurement and reduce the undue effort required for the measurement.

  • Patent number: 6140809
    Abstract: A received signal is converted in a frequency converter, an output from which is again frequency converted. The second converted output is detected by a detector and then converted into a digital signal to be stored in a memory. A spectrum display is provided by a display. A frequency sweep of local signals supplied to frequency converter is enabled. While holding the frequency sweep for the earlier stage suspended to receive one of the radio waves in service, a signal to the input of the frequency converter may be branched and demodulated by demodulation means. A vertical sync signal is separated in monitor processing means and the frequency of the local signal generator may be swept only during a no-modulation interval contained in a vertical blanking interval, thus extracting a carrier component and a noise component, the levels of which are determined to provide a measure of C/N.

    Abstract: A spectrum analyzer measures a time difference between two or more signals with different carrier frequencies or a time delay between two or more signals with the same carrier frequency. The spectrum analyzer includes at least two measurement channels, each of the measurement channels has a frequency mixer, a local oscillator and an IF (intermediate frequency) filter for mixing an input signal to be measured with a local signal of the local oscillator to produce an IF signal which passes through the IF filter, and a demodulator provided in one of the measurement channels to demodulate the IF signal produced from the input signal to generate a trigger signal to start an operation of the other measurement channel.
