Dynamic model-based compensated tuning of a tunable device

摘要

A dynamic model of non-linear tuning behavior is used to tune a tunable device. The model quantifies a difference between a tuning characteristic of an ideal device and an actual tuning characteristic of the device. The model adjusts the tuning according to the difference. A method of compensated tuning of tunable device comprises employing a dynamic model of the tunable device to produce a compensated tuning control input to the tunable device during tuning. A tuning compensator for a tunable device comprises the dynamic model that is employed with an input tuning command to generate a compensated tuning command. A tuning-compensated YTF comprises a dynamic model-based tuning compensator and a YTF. A spectrum analyzer having a tuning-compensated preselector comprises a YTF preselector, a frequency converter, a video signal processor unit, a tuning compensator, and a controller. The tuning compensator uses the dynamic model to tune the preselector.
