What is the difference between a signal analyzer and a spectrum analyzer?

common problems 7180

Spectrum analyzers are primarily used to measure the amplitude of an input signal in relation to its frequency. Signal analyzers, on the other hand, measure both the amplitude and phase of an input signal at a single frequency. For more information, please refer toTechnical overviewSpectrum Analyzers and Signal Analyzers.

  • What is the importance of waveform sequencing?

    518

    Waveform sequencing lets you create multiple configured waveforms that contain multiple common segments. Sorting lets you build complex, long waveforms using as little instrument memory as possible. Waveform sequencing lets you save storage capacity by replaying shorter waveforms at different locations on the signal as needed. Many tests require long waveform memory records. The required record length...

  • How does a spectrum analyzer work?

    663

    A signal that looks very complex in the time domain behaves quite differently in the frequency domain. Time domain measurements show an impure sine wave. Without frequency domain measurements, it is still impossible to know the source and frequency of the second harmonic. Spectral analysis can show the spectral components individually, thus revealing the source of the interference. The information provided in the time domain (e.g., the signal pulse on...

  • What is a current probe?

    661

    Many people use digital multimeters to easily measure current, voltage, resistance, etc. However, there is a drawback to using a digital multimeter to measure current, namely: the circuit must be disconnected and the digital multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit under test in order to make the measurement. In this case, a current probe can be used instead of a digital multimeter to make measurements. Since the electrical connection of the circuit is no longer required, the current probe is more time-consuming...
