A spectrum analyzer is an electronic device designed to measure and display the amplitude of a signal in relation to its frequency within a specific frequency range. It is commonly used to analyze the frequency content of electrical signals, particularly radio-frequency (RF) signals, and to determine various spectral components and power levels within a signal.

The main types of spectrum analyzers include the swept-tuned spectrum analyzer, the radio frequency tuning method, the superheterodyne, the vector signal spectrum analyzer, the real-time spectrum analyzer, the fast Fourier transform (FFT), and the parallel filter analyzer. Among these, the swept-tuned spectrum analyzer utilizes a superheterodyne receiver to down-convert a portion of the input signal spectrum to the center frequency of a band-pass filter. This type of analyzer is used for troubleshooting and monitoring RF systems, measuring the performance of RF components, and assessing RF shielding. These spectrum analyzers are offered in various products and software categorized by network technology, such as wired and wireless, with frequency ranges typically categorized as less than 6 GHz, 6 GHz to 18 GHz, and more than 18 GHz. End-user industries utilizing spectrum analyzers include automotive and transportation, aerospace and defense, information technology and telecommunications, medical and healthcare, semiconductors and electronics, industrial and energy sectors, among others.
