View description>>

The author describes the use of median filtering to enhance the readability of the trace information of such instruments as network analyzers and spectrum analyzers. A class of mildly recursive median filters (MRMFs) is described, and application to a spectrum analyzer is demonstrated. The results show that a 41% improvement in Gaussian noise, using an MRMF with a window size of three samples, is possible. The MRMF turns out to have considerably better performance for very small window sizes than nonrecursive MFs.
