Fundamentals of Spectrum Analysis_Rohde & Schwarz
Christoph Rauscher

This book is intended to familiarize the uninitiated reader with the field
of spectrum analysis. To understand complex measuring instruments
it is useful to know the theoretical background of spectrum analysis.
Even for the experienced user of spectrum analyzers it may be helpful
to recall some background information in order to avoid measurement
errors that are likely to be made in practice.
In addition to dealing with the fundamentals, this book provides an
insight into typical applications such as phase noise and channel power
measurements.
