FFTs and oscilloscopes: A practical guide
Arthur Pini @ edn.com published a guide on how to use FFT found in most modern oscilloscopes. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) first appeared when microprocessors entered commercial design in the 1970s. Today almost every oscilloscope from high-priced laboratory models to the...
