Real-time spectrum analyzers can collect data in the time domain and then convert it to the frequency domain using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Real-time spectrum analyzers can quickly capture transient and fast signals.

What is the difference between an arbitrary waveform generator and a function generator?
February 14, 2025 965
The Function Generator provides a preset list of waveforms or code patterns that it can generate. In a function generator, the user can change waveform parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and offset, as well as add simple distortion. Arbitrary waveform generators are more complex and can emulate real-world signals. Arbitrary waveform generators utilize pre-stored digital data to generate these waveforms,...

What are the main types of spectrum analyzers?
February 14, 2025 989
There are two main types of spectrum analyzers: sweep tuning analyzers and real-time analyzers. Modern spectrum analyzers use digital signal processing to provide more measurement capabilities, making it easier for you to interpret your measurements. Whether it's a swept-tuning analyzer or a real-time spectrum analyzer, they both display the change in amplitude with frequency. However, exactly how each analyzer handles...

What is a function/waveform generator?
February 14, 2025 969
A function generator is an electronic test device that generates a variety of standard waveforms for a device under test (DUT), such as sine, square, ramp, or sawtooth waveforms. In circuit design and circuit boards, testing often requires the use of controlled signals to simulate routine operations. Testing physical systems and sensors often requires stable and reliable signals that are as low as a few microvolts and may be as high as...

What is IQ modulation?
February 14, 2025 823
In-phase quadrature modulation (IQ modulation) is the main modulation scheme used in communication applications. It is popular because of its efficient use of bandwidth, meeting the increasingly urgent need for bandwidth in a world where data volumes are growing exponentially. It is important to test with simulated IQ signals because designers are always faced with a lack of bandwidth in an interference-ridden spectrum. Example...
