Waveform analyzer having function of simultaneously displaying wide- and narrow-band spectra or transmission characteristics

TLDR
In this article, a zone marker is used to indicate the position or width of the zone marker in accordance with the movement of the center frequency or band width of a displayed narrow-band spectrum.
Abstract
Display section (2) displays, on a screen, a zone marker for indicating, on a wide-band spectrum display area, that part of a wide-band spectrum which corresponds to a selected narrow-band spectrum to be displayed, and the wide-band spectrum, as well as said narrow-band spectrum which has been enlarged. First setting section (14) changes a center frequency or a band width of said displayed narrow-band spectrum, in accordance with the change of the position or width of the zone marker. Second setting section (15) cooperating with the first setting section (14) changes the position or width of the zone marker in accordance with the movement of the center frequency or band width of the displayed narrow-band spectrum. Control section (7h) for controlling a measurement resolution and a sweep time in accordance with the magnitude of the displayed spectrum, so as to satisfy the formula: sweep time ≧ band width/(measurement resolution)².K where K = a constant.
