What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer?

common problems 7650

An oscilloscope captures and displays signals in the time domain, while a spectrum analyzer captures and displays signals in the frequency domain. Sometimes, oscilloscopes have a built-in spectrum analyzer function to make it easy to analyze signals in both the time and frequency domains.

    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...

  • How does a vector network analyzer work?

    635

    A network analyzer consists of a signal source and a receiver. The receiver will detect changes in the output signal of the device (or network) and then compare it to the source signal fed into the device. To evaluate the effect of the device on current and voltage, the VNA measures the resulting amplitude and phase response. This results in transmission and reflection measurements, impedance and s-parameters, which can be used by the test engineer to...
