Question

In the figure below, the spectrum analyzer displays the frequency spectrum of a periodic square-wave signal. The spectrum analyzer range (span) is set from O Hz to 15 kHz Z. Is the frequency spectrum discrete or continuous? Why?

Explanation / Answer

The frequency is continous because there is no break through out the wavelength ,and frequency range is within the given limit.
