Abstract

In a spectrum analyzer, an intermediate-frequency oscillator and the outputs from a sweep oscillator are frequency mixed to obtain a measuring signal, which is provided to a device under test. The intermediate-frequency signal and the output from the intermediate-frequency oscillator are supplied to a phase detector to detect a phase difference between them. A signal representing the detected phase difference and the output from a detector are selectively applied by a switch to a display.
