A '''spectrum analyzer''' measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. The primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. The input signal a spectrum analyzer measures is [[electricity|electrical]], however, [[Frequency spectrum|spectral]] compositions of other signals, such as [[acoustics|acoustic]] pressure waves and [[optics|optical]] light waves, can be considered through the use of an appropriate [[transducer]].
