Abstract
There is disclosed a measurement and recording system having means for simultaneously displaying and recording the spectrum of a signal and the instantaneous phase of selected spectral components of the signal with respect to a local reference signal. Means are disclosed for displaying and recording the signal element lengths as a function of time. The system and method enables an analysis of digitally modulated signals of unknown modulation. The system also provides a means to detect faults in the system equipment that may be generating signals having undesirable variations in phase, frequency, or amplitude.
