Hi:
im interested in finding autocorrelation function for a whole signal
instead of a frame only of a signal. i have been refered to a post in
year06 (Autocorrelation function, Java or C code) regarding the
autocorrelation for a frame of a signal, and i tried to modify the C code
for finding the ...
Hello! My question relates to DSP theory: suppose that i have an
autocorrelation sequence in a closed form formula. This autocorrelation
sequence may correspond to many different signals. My question is how can
i construct a signal whose autocorrelation is the given one?
Anyone expert?

What properties an autocorrelation matrix would have if the corresponding
autocorrelation function is periodic in time with certain integer period
T??
I am interested in obtaining something like a cyclic autocorrelation
matrix of a cyclostationary process but have no idea where to start from.

I'm trying to copmute the autocorrelation matrix of array outputs and
suspect i may be doing something wrong. I'm confident that i'm getting the
right result for vectors but when my signal is a matrix it all goes wrong.
Looking at the examples below can anyone say if they are correct?
e.g. If ...
Hi all,
I'm trying to simulate a small sample, say 15 numbers, of white noise. But
due to chance, the autocorrelation is not exactly 0. Of course the standard
deviation is also not exacty 1 but I can fix that. Is there transformation
to get rid of the unwanted autocorrelation??
Many thanks,

Hi,
I am using an autocorrelation function to calculate the period of a
signal. It is a signal which is periodic. My problem is that there are
some parts with big amplitudes and some part with small amplitudes.
The disadvantage of the autocorrelation is that the big amplitudes are
dominant a...
Hi, I am trying to grasp the basics of autocorrelation and PSD. I dont
have a strong background on DSP, so any help will be appreciated. Here
are my questions:

Does anyone have any optimized Java or C code for an autocorrelation
function. It is my first time needing to do autocorrelation and it seems
straight forward enough to be able to write the code myself, but due to the
amount of iterations it would be wise to ask for code that already has it's ...
I asked this before under another subject line, but perhaps it got lost.
Assume I want the autocorrelation peak or best least squares fit of
sampled data for non-integer sample offsets (e.g. the periods of the
frequencies of interest are not a multiple of the sample interval).
Should I inter...
Hi,
I saw in the sources for the speex library (http://www.speex.org/)
that they add some value to the first autocorrelation result.
The results are used to produce a IIR with a levinson durbin

Hi,
If your data consists of ones and negative ones then you get negative values
in your autocorrelation function, but if your data is ones and zeros you
don't. In an autocorrelation plot you often see large negative values on
either side of your correlation peak. Is this a good thing or ba...
Hello,
I am trying to determine the frequency of a signal. Samples of the signal
are taken from 2 channels at a time. After some filtering, I perform the
autocorrelation of each channel, and the cross-correlation of the 2
channels.
The autocorrelations, as expected, yield almost identical res...
Hi all,
Thanks for reading and please feel free to comment.
I am having problems with matlab fft on autocorrelation data.

Hi, All,
I have been reading quite a number of articles on measuring room

Hi,
I want to show a Pitch graph/curve of a wave file. I saw that good results
can be made by using AutoCorrelation. I have the autocorrelation function
and I also have the FFT function, but I don't know what I should put into
the autocorrelation function in order to get a pitch line.
I have a...
Hi. Does anyone have a good reference for pitch tracking by
autocorrelation? I do note that there is a very long thread on this
topic, but it's too long to follow. So far I've written a very
straightforward program to calculate autocorrelation in a signal and
also a crude envelope follower to ap...
Hi
I would like to compute the autocorrelation matrix from a vector with
Matlab. I don't have the statistical signal processing toolbox (I can only
use "cov" and "corrcoef" functions, or build my own function). Could
someone explain how I can do?
Thanks a lot.

Hello
I'm working on analyzing neuroscience data using the autocorrelation
function. I discovered that it has a negative bias (for all lags except
zero lag), that exactly matches up so that the sum of all is zero. This is
in disagreement with what most textbooks write, for example this taken fro...
I have two questions:
1) Is there a difference b/w the terms 'power spectrum' and 'power
spectral density'? They both seem to indicate power vs. frequency.
2) Suppose you are given a random sampled data sequence x[n], and you
have to find its power spectrum.
- Can we find the spectrum by ...
Hay Datura,
this problem is very similar to the CELP coding algorithm stage
named "Tone detection and tone period estimation".
This procedure is rather robust and is proven in every CELP coder.
The idea is to calculate the autocorrelation function for delays
which belong to the human pulse pe...
I am working over estimation of fundamental frequency and spectral
shift estimation, using autocorrelations and cepstral analysis.
The Cepstral analysis is an homomorphic system, is possible to

c(n) = IFFT[ log |X(w)| ]
The autocorrelation function is possi...

I'm not an expert with LPC, but I know with adaptive dsp, you need to
keep the inverse of the autocorrelation matrix stable. This is
especially true with highly self-correlated signals. ...

Hi all,
I heard tht white noise can be used to do system identification: finding the

this is in fact the system impulse response h(t)...

Hello,
I'm looking for a spreading code that I can output from a microcontroller

It should be a long sequence of between 4000 and 20000 and does not have to
be done with a LFSR (shift register) since I have lots of ...
