FFT Duty Cycle
TheFFTFast Fourier Transform. FFT is a frequency analysis mechanism that aims at faster conversion of a discrete signal in time domain into a discrete frequency domain representation. See also DFT.Duty Cycle chart is a line chart that shows the duty cycle for each frequency bin. The width of the each frequency bin depends on the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum monitor. The spectrum analysis feature considers a frequency bin to be used if the detected power in that bin is at least 20dBDecibel. Unit of measure for sound or noise and is the difference or ratio between two signal levels.higher than the nominal noise floor on that channel. TheFFTFast Fourier Transform. FFT is a frequency analysis mechanism that aims at faster conversion of a discrete signal in time domain into a discrete frequency domain representation. See also DFT.Duty Cycle provides a more granular view of the duty cycle per bin as opposed to the aggregated channel utilization reported in the Channel Metrics chart.
