Greetings: I'm new to the world of DSP, so please feel free to correct my terminology and point me towards references as appropriate. After some research, it seems to me that it would be possible to convert a signal into a list of power vs. frequency (would this be called a conversion to the frequency domain?) with a set of FIR low pass filters. Differences between the signal and the various filters could give band pass power information. It further seems that these operations could be pipelined such that a new spectrum could be generated in a fixed amount of time from sample acquisition. What current work exists in this field. Is there some reason that it is a bad approach (tried and failed?)? How is real-time spectral analysis done nowadays. Thank you.
