What is a Spectrum Analyzer
A spectrum analyzer is an electronic device used to measure the frequency spectrum of electrical signals. It detects and displays signal amplitude over a range of frequencies, helping to analyze signal strength, interference, and noise. The input signal is processed through a frequency-selective circuit, and the resulting spectrum is displayed on a screen. This tool is essential for testing radio frequencies, telecommunications, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments.
Common Spectrum Analyzer Uses
- Measure frequency and amplitude of RF signals
- Identify and troubleshoot signal interference issues
- Verify signal purity and bandwidth
