Technical field
The present invention relates to spectrum analyzer field, be specifically related to a kind of intermediate frequency filtering device, frequency spectrograph and intermediate frequency filtering method.
Background technology
Existing sweep frequency technique adopts superhet spectrum analyzer usually, based on the principle of beat receiver, by mixing thus the frequency point information obtained required by us, and by the method for change local frequency, reaches the measurement of a frequency range." heterodyne " refers to mixing, namely refers to change frequency, and the meaning of " surpassing " then refers to superaudio frequency or the frequency range higher than audio frequency.
The time of the whole scanning process of frequency spectrograph is determined by intermediate-frequency filter, and bandwidth of operation and the transient response operating time of intermediate-frequency filter are inversely proportional to.When RBW is less time, the response time of intermediate-frequency filter is very long, has a strong impact on spectrum measurement process.
Adopt the spectrum scan method of prior art, owing to being first be down-converted to intermediate frequency through analog circuit, then through digital IF filter, form corresponding resolution, therefore when resolution is too small time, because the intermediate-frequency filter response time is very long, sweep speed will be made very slow.In prior art; usually FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation can be used; fast Fourier transform; the fast algorithm of discrete Fourier transform (DFT)) technology solves long problem of little RBW situation lower response time; but the operation resource that the usual consumption rate of FFT is more, can cause cost compare high.
