High-Speed Spectrum-Analysis Technologies.

Abstract

Techniques and technologies for performing frequency decomposition on an input signal in a small-size, low-cost, low-power unit are analyzed. (Typical device parameters of interest are an input signal bandwidth of 2 MHz and a frequency resolution of 4 kHz). It is found that no present-day technology is capable of satisfying these objectives entirely, but that incoherent optics technology, particularly the electro-optical processor under development at NOSC, and electronic CCD technology, particularly the chirp-Z transform, both have high potential for doing so.
