Abstract
A spectrum analyzer including a device for analyzing signals whose time duration is short as compared to the normal sampling rate of the spectrum analyzer. A transient signal, or a small portion of any analog signal, is sampled at a sampling rate which is substantially higher than the normal sampling rate of the spectrum analyzer, and the samples are stored in analog form in a storage device such as a charge coupled device acting as an analog delay line. The stores analog samples are then read out at the normal sampling rate of the spectrum analyzer, to form a longer duration signal which can be analyzed by the spectrum analyzer in a conventional manner.
