Abstract
At the start of a method for analyzing a communications signal with a frequency-mask trigger unit and a selection unit, a mask which describes a trigger range for the frequency-mask trigger unit is defined in the frequency domain, in frequency and amplitude. Furthermore, within the selection unit, an application is allocated to the mask. The frequency-mask trigger unit then checks whether the spectrum of the communications signal violates the mask. Finally, the signal component of the communications signal which violates the mask is transferred to the application for a further evaluation by the selection unit.
Claims23
A method for analyzing a communications signal, comprising the following method steps:
- defining at least one mask in the frequency domain, in frequency and amplitude, which specifies a trigger range for a frequency-mask trigger device;
- allocating at least one application to the at least one mask;
- determining, by the frequency-mask trigger device, whether the spectrum of the communications signal violates the at least one mask;
- transmitting at least one signal component of the communications signal that violates the at least one mask to the at least one application for evaluation.

A device for analyzing a communications signal comprising:
- a frequency-mask trigger device;
- and
- a selection device;
- and
- a control device configured to define at least one mask that specifies a trigger range for the frequency-mask trigger device is defined in the frequency domain, in frequency and amplitude;
- and
- wherein the selection device is configured to allocate at least one application to the at least one mask;
- and
- wherein the frequency-mask trigger device is configured to determine whether the spectrum of the communications signal violates the at least one mask;
- and
- wherein at least one signal component of the communications signal that violates the at least one mask is transmitted to the at least one application for evaluation.
A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
- defining at least one mask in the frequency domain, in frequency and amplitude, which specifies a trigger range for a frequency-mask trigger device;
- allocating at least one application to the at least one mask;
- determining, by the frequency-mask trigger device, whether the spectrum of the communications signal violates the at least one mask;
- transmitting at least one signal component of the communications signal that violates the at least one mask to the at least one application for evaluation.
