Signal bandwidth is widening, transmission rates are rising, and non-stationary characteristics are also rapidly increasing. Simply analyzing signals from the time domain perspective is no longer sufficient; frequency domain and time-frequency domain analysis capabilities are becoming increasingly important. There is a growing demand for measuring instruments that can analyze not only the time domain characteristics of signals but also their characteristics in other domains such as the frequency domain, time-frequency domain, and amplitude domain.
