Spectral analysis or Spectrum analysis may refer to:

  • Spectroscopy in chemistry and physics, a method of analyzing the properties of matter from their electromagnetic interactions
  • Spectral density estimation, in statistics and signal processing, an algorithm that estimates the strength of different frequency components (the power spectrum) of a time-___domain signal. This may also be called frequency ___domain analysis
  • Spectrum analyzer, a hardware device for achieving this
  • Spectral theory, in mathematics, a theory that extends eigenvalues and eigenvectors to linear operators on Hilbert space, and more generally to the elements of a Banach algebra
  • In nuclear and particle physics, gamma spectroscopy, and high-energy astronomy, the analysis of the output of a pulse height analyzer for characteristic features such as spectral line, edges, and various physical processes producing continuum shapes
