A real-time network analyzer employing ultrasonic dispersive delay line
A real-time network analyzer which produces a continuous display of both the amplitude and phase spectrum of a network is described. The analyzer is based on a Fourier transformer implemented with an ultrasonic dispersive delay line. Experimental results demonstrating its capability are presented.
