How does a spectrum analyzer work?

common problems 6620

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. While the information provided by the time domain (such as the rise and fall times of signal pulses) is important, the frequency domain allows you to determine the harmonic content of the signal, such as out-of-band emissions and distortion.

  • What is an AC power supply?

    713

    An AC power supply is responsible for providing AC power to the load. The power input can be either AC or DC. You need an AC power supply because the power from the wall outlet does not meet the specifications of the load. In order for the load to operate properly, you need to transform the AC power supply to tune the AC power from the supply to the voltage, current, and frequency required by the device. This can be done by boosting...
