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

common problems 6030

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 are spectrum analyzers used for?

    623

    Spectrum analyzers measure the amplitude of an input signal versus frequency over the entire frequency range to determine the power of the signal. Spectrum analyzers are capable of performing tests such as noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to characterize the performance of a device and its contribution to overall system performance. For more information, see the application guide Spectrum Analysis Basics. ,

  • How do I measure resistance?

    387

    Wondering about resistance measurement methods! In this article, we will cover basic resistance measurements and precautions. Resistance is very important in electronic device circuits. If the resistance is not appropriate, it can lead to malfunctions and other problems. However, electricity is not visible. To find out if the resistance in a circuit is appropriate, you need to use a specialized measuring instrument. To measure resistance, you need to use a measuring instrument...

  • What is a resistor?

    328

    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...

  • What is the difference between a DC power supply and an AC power supply?

    479

    Alternating current is suitable for transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances through the grid system. Direct current is a one-way flow of charge and is more reliable than alternating current, but is not suitable for long-distance transmission. Most electronic devices use DC because their voltage is constant, such as devices powered by batteries. Some devices also use rectifiers to convert AC to DC. Power supplies usually have an internal...
