Patent ID: 10009125

Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a monitoring system capable of monitoring, without stopping operations for a long period of time, a change of the characteristics of an apparatus to be subjected to characteristic measurement, to which high frequency signals are inputted. [Solution] A signal to be monitored and a reference signal are inputted to an input unit 11, and the input unit inputs one of the inputted signals to an apparatus 15 to be subjected to characteristic measurement. On the basis of an output signal of the apparatus 15 and the reference signal in the cases where the reference signal is inputted to the apparatus, an input/output characteristic calculation unit 12 calculates the input/output characteristics of the apparatus 15. On the basis of calculation results obtained from the input/output characteristic calculation unit 12, a correction result generating unit 13 generates a correction result signal that indicates the results obtained by correcting an output signal of the apparatus 15 in the cases where the signal to be monitored is inputted to the apparatus. On the basis of the correction result signal generated by the correction result generating unit 13, a failure determining unit 14 determines whether the apparatus has a failure.
