0Hz
Not that difficult, either. Finally, we represent the strength of each signal in terms
of vertical bars with corresponding heights along the Y axis:
0Hz
In addition, we have made the markers as wide as the frequency range of each
application (the so-called bandwidth): our unknown signal occupied the fre-
quency range from 350 to 360Hz - accordingly, its bandwidth was 10Hz
(360-350Hz = 10Hz).
Well, it was all quite simple at the end, wasn't it? We now have a single display
consisting of ALL information available about the three signal sources.
In practice, this display could look similar to the following image on an idealized
measurement device:
