An electronic instrument, resembling an oscilloscope, which produces a Bode diagram, or a graph, of a circuit's voltage gain or phase shift are plotted against frequency in a feedback control system. It is extremely useful for testing filters.

This is identical to the function performed by a vector network analyzer, but the network analyzer is typically used at much higher frequencies.
