Spectogram of a signal

The signal spectrum describes a signal's magnitude and phase characteristics as a function of frequency. The system spectrum describes how the system changes signal magnitude and phase as a function of frequency. For example, At the lower frequencies, below around 80 Hz, the magnitude spectrum is 1.0.

How do you find the spectrum of a signal?

Frequency spectrum of a signal is the range of frequencies contained by a signal. For example, a square wave is shown in Fig. 3.5A. It can be represented by a series of sine waves, S(t) = 4A/π sin(2πft) + 4A/3π sin(2π(3f)t) + 4A/5π sin(2π(5f)t + …)

What is waveform and spectrum?

Spectral data is displayed in the frequency domain while waveform data is in the time domain. Spectral information is obtained by applying a Fourier transform to waveform data; this converts the data to show that amplitude and phase of the vibration at different frequencies.

What is phase spectrum of a signal?

The phase spectrum specifies the phase of signal components as a function of. component frequency. This phase is measured with respect to a cosine reference.

What is the difference between the spectrum of a signal and its bandwidth?

The spectrum of a signal is the range of frequencies contained in the signal. The bandwidth is the difference between the lowest and highest frequency in the spectrum. It is therefore the width of the spectrum and is a measure of the information carrying capacity of the signal.
