The easiest way to envision a spectrum analyzer is to begin with an oscilloscope that plots magnitude versus time. Then swap frequency for time—and voilà—a spectrum analyzer! A gross simplification ...

frequencies. The WiPry isn't ageneral-purpose spectrum analyzer because it's frequency range islimited to the wifi band: 2.4 GHz to 2.495 GHz. It's available as aspectrum analyzer only ($99.97), an RF ...

As one of the most important instruments for electrical test in a lab or in the field, signal and spectrum analyzers serve multiple purposes across a range of applications, from communications, to ...
