The purpose of a spectrum analyzer is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. Spectrum analyzers can measure the amplitude of an input signal compared to the frequency range of the device.
There are two different methods that can be used during signal measurement in the frequency domain. The first method is called Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), digital technology, and uses mathematic formulas to obtain the frequency spectrum of a signal. The process involves a sample of the signal in the time domain that is then transformed into a digital format. Fourier analysis then transforms this measurement to display the signal in the frequency domain. The second method is called Swept-Tuned Analysis, analog technology, and involves a sweep generator being placed on the device to control the local oscillator (LO). The input signal is mixed with this to ensure only the specified frequency range determined by the sweep generator is viewed. lastly, an amplifier and filter are used on the mixed signal to obtain the spectrum.

Designed to handle the most punishing field conditions, the MS2712E allows you to monitor, locate, identify, and analyze a broad range of cellular, 2G/3G/4G, land mobile radio, Wi-Fi, and broadcast signals.
The R3361A is a 2.6 GHz Spectrum Analyzer from Advantest. A spectrum analyzer measures the power of spectrums of known and unknown signals. Spectrum analyzers collect information such as the magnitude of an input signal compared to its frequency. As a frequency analyzer, spectrum analyzers’ main use is to document and analyze electrical input signals as well as spectral compositions of other signals.
