I report on the frequency resolved spectroscopy (FRS) of the low- mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676, using data taken with the EPIC PN (timing or imaging mode) data on the XMM-Newton Observatory. The frequency resolved spectra in a low state (Lx about 1.2e36 erg/s) show that the spectra are frequency independent and best described by a simple power-law with a iron line at about 5 keV. The vicinity of the 45 Hz signal reported in bursts from this source by Villarreal & Strohmayer (2004, ApJL 614, L121) shows the above spectra during persistent emission.
