 * @ingroup spectrum

 * Class which implements a converter between SpectrumValue which are
 * defined over different SpectrumModel. In more formal terms, this class
 * allows conversion between different function spaces. In practical
 * terms, this allows you to mix different spectrum representation
 * within the same channel, such as a device using a coarse spectrum
 * representation (e.g., one frequency for each IEEE 802.11 channel)
 * and devices using a finer representation (e.g., one frequency for
 * each OFDM subcarrier).
