Spectral analysis is a method used to decompose a signal into its constituent frequencies, allowing for the examination of the frequency domain characteristics of the signal. It is widely used in fields like physics, engineering, and finance to analyze time series data and identify periodicities or trends that are not visible in the time domain.

The time domain represents signals or data as they vary over time, providing a straightforward way to analyze how a signal behaves in the real world. It is crucial for understanding temporal characteristics of signals, such as duration, amplitude, and waveform shape, before applying transformations like the Fourier Transform to analyze frequency components.
