Abstract

The sweep rate limitations that heretofore have constrained the maximum sweep rates of swept analysis instruments are obviated by optimizing filter circuitry and post-processing the IF signal using various techniques to compensate for errors caused by fast sweeping. Some selective windowing is also used to compensate for distortions due to fast sweep rates.
