Abstract:
A method of generating a display of a signal measurement within each of multiple ranges of a parameter, comprising the steps of:obtaining measurements of a signal within each one of multiple ranges of a parameter; deriving for each of said multiple ranges of the parameter: a representative measurement value and an extent of the range; defining a respective graphical display element for each of said multiple ranges of the parameter, a first dimension of each graphical display element being indicative of the representative measurement value for the respective range of the parameter, and a second dimension of the graphical display element being indicative of the extent of that respective range of the parameter; and generating a display of the measured signal throughout the multiple ranges of the parameter, with the graphical display elements superimposed at positions corresponding to the respective ranges of the parameter, and wherein the signal measurement is an adjacent power measurement, and the display comprises a trace of measured signal power throughout frequency channels adjacent a reference channel, with a vertical bar superimposed for each adjacent frequency channel, each bar having a width corresponding to the bandwidth of the respective adjacent channel and a height indicative of the power measured within that channel.
