Glossary FFT
FFT
Fast Fourier Transform - a mathematical process to calculate the frequency spectrum of a discrete number
of time domain sample points.
Filter
A circuit that separates electrical signals or signal components based on their frequencies.
FM
Acronym for Frequency Modulation.
Frame
A series of time-contiguous samples, long enough in duration and at a suf fi cient sample rate to produce
a spectrum view of a speci fi ed span and RBW.
Frequency
A series of time-contiguous samples, long enough in duration and at a suf fi cient sample rate to produce
a spectrum view of a speci fi ed span and RBW.
Frequency Band
The continuous range of frequencies extending between two limiting frequencies, expressed in hertz.
Frequency Domain View
The representation of the power of the spectral components of a signal as a function frequency; the
spectrum of the signal.
