  • Spectrum Analyzer: for frequency domain measurements of signals, as compared to the time domain measurements done with oscilloscopes
    • It measures the magnitude of an input verses the frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument.
    
    
    • The primary use is to display and measure the amplitude and frequency of known and unknown microwave signals.
    
    
  
  
  • Vector Signal Analyzer
    • This measures the magnitude and phase of an input signal at a single frequency in the IF (infrared) bandwidth of the instrument.
    
    
    • The primary use is to make in channel measurements, such as error_vector_magnitude, code domain power, spectral flatness, on known signals.
    
    
  
  
  • Signal Analyzer:
    • A signal analyzer provides the functions of the spectrum analyzer with the vector signal analyzer.
