    The document provides a spectrum analysis table that lists various vibration issues detectable through different sensor types and measurement planes, along with the dominant frequencies and expected phase relationships for each issue. The table covers issues like imbalance, misalignment, mechanical looseness, bearing and gear defects, and electrically induced vibrations in motors. It is intended as a guide for vibration diagnostics and analysis based on sensor data.
