- By analyzing the spectra of electrical signals, dominant frequency, power, distortion, harmonics, bandwidth, and other spectral components of a signal can be observed that are not easily detectable in time domain waveforms.
- The display of a spectrum analyzer has frequency on the horizontal axis and the amplitude displayed on the vertical axis.
