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

common problems 9050

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.

  • How to read the measurement results of a digital multimeter?

    751

    Most handheld or benchtop digital multimeters display measurements digitally. The number of digits displayed on the screen usually represents the measurement resolution of the digital multimeter. Resolution is the smallest detail that a digital multimeter can quantitatively determine when making a measurement. Therefore, the more digits a digital multimeter displays, the higher its resolution. Handheld digital multimeters are typically capable of displaying three-and-a-half and four...

  • How does a spectrum analyzer work?

    877

    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...
