A measuring unit converts a measuring signal into an intermediate frequency band of a predetermined bandwidth and detects the intermediate frequency band while a reception frequency is set variable by variably controlling a local oscillation frequency of a local oscillator. A waveform memory stores the magnitude of a detection signal output from the measuring unit in correspondence with the frequency. An analyzing unit analyzes a frequency component included in a signal to be measured, on the basis of a storage value of the waveform memory. An analysis target frequency data setting unit sets frequency data of a desired analysis target frequency or interval frequency data thereof. A sweep control unit changes the reception frequency of the measuring unit into the desired analysis target frequency corresponding to the frequency data set by the analysis target frequency data setting unit and outputs an address signal corresponding to the received analysis target frequency to the waveform memory every time a signal synchronized with an ON/OFF change of the signal to be measured is received.

Burst signal spectrum measuring system with stepwise sweeping

In a siganl analyzer apparatus, a signal received while a local oscillator is swept in a analog manner is selected and detected by an IF circuit using a desired RBW, and the resultant data is stored in a memory and displayed on a display unit. A sweep signal generator controls the local oscillator in an analog manner such that frequency measurement can be performed within a desired measuring frequency range. A peak search section outputs a frequency valve corresponding to the maximum value of the data in the memory. A discriminator compares the span set in the sweep signal generator with the resolution bandwidth set in the IF circuit, when a frequency is measured using the desired span, and outputs the obtained value. A frequency controller causes the sweep signal generator to perform sweeping/measurement by setting a frequency detected by the peak search as a center frequency, and by using a span narrower than that used in the previous measurement cycle, on the basis of the comparison result from the discriminator. A frequency measuring section measures the frequency of an input signal using the output frequencies from the local oscillator and the IF circuit, on the basis of the comparison result from the discriminator, when the frequency controller causes the sweep signal generator to perform frequency measurement by minimizing the span.
