Consider the following common measurement tasks:

Transient and dynamic signal capture and analysis
Capturing burst transmissions, glitches, switching transients
Characterizing PLL settling times, frequency drift, microphonics
Detecting intermittent interference, noise analysis
Capturing spread-spectrum and frequency-hopping signals
Monitoring spectrum usage, detecting rogue transmissions
Compliance testing, EMI diagnostics
Analog and digital modulation analysis
Characterizing time-variant modulation schemes
Troubleshooting complex wireless standards using domain correlation
Performing modulation quality diagnostics
Each measurement involves RF signals that change over time, often unpredictably. To effectively haracterize these signals, engineers need a tool that can trigger on known or unpredictable events,
capture the signals seamlessly and store them in memory, and analyze the behavior of frequency, amplitude, and modulation parameters over time. Attached a brief from Tektronix, arguably the leaders in Spectrum Analysers.
