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

common problems 8900

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 can a signal analyzer do?

    867

    Signal analyzers are capable of measuring the amplitude and phase of an input signal at a single frequency. The Signal Analyzer combines the large dynamic range of a swept-tuned spectrum analyzer with the power of a Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) to perform in-channel measurements, such as Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) measurements, which require both magnitude and phase information. The VSAs are available in a wide range of sizes and sizes.
