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

February 14, 2025common problems 5330

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.

We usually use time as a frame of reference, focusing on when certain specific events will occur. This includes electrical events. Oscilloscopes allow you to view the instantaneous value of a particular electrical event (or the voltage value of some other event converted by an appropriate transducer) over time. In other words, we can use an oscilloscope to view the waveform of a signal in the time domain. Fourier theory...

What is a digital multimeter?
February 14, 2025 404
A multimeter is an instrument that can measure a wide range of parameters, such as alternating (AC) or direct current (DC) voltage, AC or DC current, resistance, temperature, capacitance, and so on. Modern digital multimeters use digital and logic technology to become smaller and smaller with more and more built-in functions. By introducing digital technology, digital multimeters can provide graphical displays, data logging and signal digitization as well as...

What is a resistor?
February 14, 2025 236
What is resistance in electricity? This article will cover the basics of resistance, how to calculate resistance, and resistors. Many people have heard the word "resistance" when they were students, but may still not understand it. However, because they don't understand it, they are hesitant to ask people about it now. Simply put, resistance is a force that flows in the opposite direction of the current. Resistance...
