摘要:
A network analyser for measuring a group runtime ( T G ), generated by a measuring object (17) to be measured, generates a stimulating signal ( x ln ( t )) made up of two signals ( x In1 ( t ), x In2 ( t )) separated by a frequency difference (Δ ω ) stimulates the measuring object with the stimulating signal ( x In ( t )) and measures a response signal ( x Out ( t )) made up of two signals ( x Out1 ( t ), x Out2 ( t )), which are phase shifted by the measuring object (17) relative to the signals ( x In1 ( t ), x In2 ( t )) of the stimulation signal ( x In ( t )). The analyser then determines the phase difference (Δ φ In ) between the signals ( x In1 ( t ), x In2 ( t )) of the stimulation signal ( x In ( t )) and a phase difference (Δ φ Out ) between the against ( x Out1 ( t ), x Out2 ( t )) of the response signal ( x Out ( t )). The analyser finally calculates the group runtime ( T G ) from the phase difference (Δ φ In ) of the signals ( x In1 ( t ), x In2 ( t )) belonging to the stimulation signal ( x In ( t )) the phase difference (Δ φ Out ) of the signals ( x Out1 ( t ), x Out2 ( t )) belonging to the response signal ( x Out ( t )) and the frequency separation (Δω).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for determining the origin of a passive intermodulation product, wherein a distributed object (1) under test is excited with two first excitation signals ( x1 (t), x2 (t) ), each having a single spectral line, and the frequencies (f 1 , f 2 ) of which exhibit a frequency spacing (Δ f ) from each other. The phase ( φ IM3Mess ) of a first passive intermodulation product generated at the origin in the distributed object (1) under test by non-linear distortion from the first excitation signals ( x1 (t), x2 (t) ) is measured and the propagation time ( Δt ) of the first passive intermodulation product from the origin to the measuring instrument (5) is calculated from the measured phase( x1 (t), x2 (t) ) and the frequency ( 2 • f 1 - f2 ) of the first intermodulation product. Finally, the origin of the passive intermodulation product is determined from the propagation time ( Δt ) and the topology of the distributed object (1) under test .
