sagedusala

Sagedusala is a term used in physics, engineering, and information technology to describe the range of frequencies that a signal, system, or component occupies or is designed to handle. It is often referred to as the frequency domain and is used to analyze how energy or information is distributed across frequencies, as opposed to the time-domain representation of a signal. The boundaries are defined by lower and upper cutoff frequencies, fL and fH, and the width fH − fL is called the bandwidth.

In practice, the sagedusala can be continuous for broadband signals or discrete for line spectra. Signals may be described as having a passband (the frequencies allowed) and a stopband (frequencies suppressed) based on the system's frequency response. Spectral density describes how signal power is distributed over frequency.

Applications: In telecommunications, specific sagedusala are allocated to services, such as radio, television, and mobile networks, with regulatory bodies managing assignments to avoid interference. In audio and acoustics, devices have a defined sagedusala, for example roughly 20 Hz to 20 kHz for human hearing. In electronics and signal processing, frequency-domain analysis via Fourier transform or FFT is used to filter, compress, or modulate signals.

Measurement and tools: Spectrum analyzers and computational methods reveal a signal’s sagedusala from time-domain data. Understanding the sagedusala helps in design, testing, and compliance.
