An artifact signal correction system may include a mixing component to generate a waveform corresponding to an artifact such as an error tone, whereupon that waveform may be combined with the input waveform to substantially eliminate the artifact. In preferred embodiments, a method and apparatus for reducing spurious tones in systems of mismatched interleaved digitizers due to interleave error is provided. In various embodiments the method may include reversing the frequency content of an input signal, converting the reversed signal into interleave artifact content, delaying the input signal along a parallel path, and then subtracting the interleave content from the delayed input signal.

An electronic instrument includes instrument hardware, core software, and the ability to support custom data processing libraries, separate from the core software. The instrument hardware acquires unprocessed measured data. The core software includes standard measurement objects and standard algorithms. The standard measurement objects produce analysis results of the unprocessed measured data. The standard algorithms are used by the standard measurement objects to aid in production of analysis results of the unprocessed measured data. Custom libraries as supported by the core software include custom measurement objects and custom algorithms. The custom measurement objects produce analysis results of the unprocessed measured data. The custom algorithms are used by the custom measurement objects to aid in production of analysis results of the unprocessed measured data. The custom measurement objects also are capable of using the standard algorithms to aid in production of analysis results of the unprocessed measured data.

A two port handheld VNA enabling both reflection and transmission measurements to be made over a range of 25 MHz to 3.3 GHz frequency range. The handheld VNA includes a tracking synthesizer which generates a LO signal without a direct connection to a reference oscillator, enabling resolution of the LO signal to be independent of a generated RF test signal. Synchronous detectors are further included to provide incident, reflected, and transmitted IF signals to an A/D converter. To enable operation in the presence of external signals, a feedback dither line is provided from one of the synchronous detector outputs to sweep the frequency of the reference oscillator. The handheld VNA also is configured to optionally operate as a frequency monitor to determine the frequency range and power level of incoming signals without upconverting and downconverting to eliminate images as typically done in a spectrum analyzer. The frequency monitoring circuit operates by dividing the frequency range to be monitored into bins. The LO signal is then stepped for each bin until RF signals within the bin frequency range can generate an IF signal. The maximum IF signal power level detected during measurements for the bin is then stored as a power level for signals in each bin.

A measurement unit U100 measures an input signal to be measured by sweeping frequencies in a measurement range having a predetermined frequency band so as to obtain waveform data to be developed on the frequency axis such as spectrum data in, e.g., a spectrum analyzer. The waveform data obtained by the measurement of the measurement unit U100 is displayed by a display device 500 via a display data processor U20 included in a control unit U200 to be developed on the frequency axis of the display device, i.e., in correspondence with the measurement frequencies. The control unit U200 includes a measurement controller U30 for controlling the measurement unit U100 so as to display waveform data obtained by enlarging or reducing waveform data, before a measurement frequency condition is changed, at a predetermined magnification to have a predetermined point on the frequency axis as the center on the basis of a change in measurement frequency condition set by a condition setting unit U900, and an enlargement display/stable display processor U40 for controlling the display data processor U20. The enlargement display/stable display processor U40 realizes high-definition waveform observation, and has a function of controlling the display device U500 as the control unit U200.

A method for rapidly estimating power spectral density components .rho.(f) in the spectrum of an input signal, by first digitizing the input signal over a selected time interval at a selected sample rate; computing an m-th order prediction error energy as an arithmetic mean of forward and backward prediction error energies; and then computing an m-th order prediction error power from a previous reflection coefficient .GAMMA. computation. A control parameter .alpha. is generated; using .alpha. and .GAMMA., an m-th order entropy H and free energy F are then computed, from which is computed m-th order reflection coefficients as extremes of the m-th order Free energy. If the proper extremes are not found, new feedback for the (m+1)-st order solution is generated. If the proper extremes are found, the spectral components are computed and recorded.

摘要:
A correlator apparatus that simultaneously delays two time-varying input signals using just a single transmission line, with the signals being connected to opposite ends of the line. Directional couplers spaced along the transmission line extract delayed versions of the two input signals, for correlation by a bank of correlators, to produce a correlation envelope for the two signals. The apparatus is substantially less massive than prior apparatus of this kind and can be easily constructed and aligned.

A system for remote microwave interrogation and imaging of biological tars comprises at least one microwave, double ridged waveguide antenna probe which operates at S-band frequencies, and a high dielectric liquid medium, preferably water, in which both the probe and the target are completely immersed. For imaging applications, the probe is positioned with respect to the target such that the target is in the near field of the antenna.
摘要:
Remote interrogation of biological targets is accomplished in accordance h the present invention by method and apparatus wherein a microwave signal is generated which varies in frequency from a first frequency to a second frequency in a predetermined time period. The signal is divided into two signals, one of which is propagated through a test channel comprising a transmitting antenna for transmitting the signal through the target, and a receiving antenna for receiving the signal transmitted through the target, and the other of which is propagated through a reference channel providing a fixed time delay of propagation. The propagated signals are detected and mixed to produce a time delay spectrum wherein the frequency of each spectral line represents the instantaneous difference in the frequencies of the detected signals.
