Spectrum Analysis is the process of measuring and visualizing the magnitude of the components of a signal (e.g., radio frequency, audio, light) across its frequency domain. In RF applications, a spectrum analyzer is a critical tool for identifying signal strength, bandwidth, modulation type, and sources of interference or unauthorized transmissions. It is fundamental to wireless communication design, troubleshooting, electronic warfare, and counter-drone operations. By displaying power versus frequency, it allows engineers and technicians to “see” the electromagnetic spectrum, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth and identifying disruptive signals.

  • Visualizes signal power distribution across a range of frequencies.

  • Identifies interference sources, unauthorized transmissions, and signal characteristics.

  • Essential for RF engineering, wireless network deployment, and spectrum management.

  • Used in electronic warfare (EW) for signal intelligence (SIGINT) and jamming.

  • Critical tool for troubleshooting Wi-Fi, cellular, and other communication systems.

  • Available as benchtop instruments, handheld devices, and software-defined radio (SDR) solutions.
