Abstract

In an RBW filter, a bandwidth is set so as to selectively pass a frequency component of only a desired signal bandwidth of the measured signals that have been frequency converted into a normalized intermediate frequency signal. A waveform detector detects a signal that passes through the RBW filter. An A/D converter samples the signal detected by the waveform detector at a predetermined sampling rate at which a Nyquist frequency is within the frequency bandwidth of the RBW filter, thereby converting the sampled signal into digital data. A data storage section stores the digital data converted by the A/D converter. A signal processing section re-samples the digital data stored in the data storage section so as to reproduce a bandwidth of the detection signal of the waveform detector, thereby generating arbitrary time data. A display section displays the arbitrary time data generated by the signal processing section while time and amplitude are defined on horizontal and vertical directions on the display screen.
