A sweep spectrum analyzerr has been improved over the years, but the fundamental method has not been changed before the ‘Super Sweep’ method appeared. The ‘Super Sweep’ method has been expected to break the limitation of the conventional sweep spectrum analyzer, a limit of the maximum sweep rate which is in inverse proportion to the square of the frequency resolution. The superior performance of the ‘Super Sweep’ method, however, has not been experimentally proved yet. This paper gives the experimental evaluation on the ‘Super Sweep’ spectrum analyzer, of which theoretical concepts have already been presented by the authors of this paper. Before giving the experimental results, we give complete analysis for a sweep spectrum analyzer and express the principle of the super-sweep operation with a complete set of equations. We developed an experimental system whose components operated in an optimum condition as the spectrum analyzer. Then we investigated its properties, a peak level reduction and broadening of the frequency resolution of the measured spectrum, by changing the sweep rate. We also confirmed that the experimental system satisfactorily detected the spectrum at least 30 times faster than the conventional method and the sweep rate was in proportion to the bandwidth of the base band signal to be analyzed. We proved that the ‘Super Sweep’ method broke the restriction of the sweep rate put on a conventional sweep spectrum analyzer.
