Abstract :
By adding a matched filter at the output IF stage of a Spectrum Analyzer, finer resolution bandwidth (RBW) and wider dynamic range (due to improved SNR) can be obtained. Under certain conditions, the matched filter allows the phase information of the frequency components to be recovered, potentially making the analyzer capable of displaying time-domain data and performing vector network measurements.
