Abstract :
The design and performance analysis of a low-cost, low-frequency spectrum analyzer are described. This instrument has been conceived as a plug-in board to be incorporated in an IBM PC. Although intended primarily for educational purposes, this analyzer is suitable for other applications such as audio, vibrations, etc. The frequency synthesizer, superheterodyne, and harmonics identifier used in the spectrum analyzer are discussed
