Fundamentals of Spectrum Analysis

June 7, 2024
Even for the experienced user of spectrum analyzers, it may be helpful to recall some background information. In addition, our fundamentals provide an insight into typical applications such as phase noise and channel power measurements.

Our fundamentals are intended to familiarize the uninitiated reader with the field of spectrum analysis. To understand complex measuring instruments it is useful to know the theoretical background of spectrum analysis. Even for the experienced user of spectrum analyzers it may be helpful to recall some background information in order to avoid measurement errors that are likely to be made in practice. In addition, our fundamentals provide an insight into typical applications such as phase noise and channel power measurements.
