Hi,
I have read some litterature about linear prediction.
However, I haven't been able to find any litterature
that explains in mathematical terms exactly why
minimization of the variance of the residual leads
to an estimate of the all-pole filter coefficients.
The known output of a 10th...

Hi.
I am pasting below the code I used for decoding when I worked with LDPC
codes. If possible, try replacing the code you have with the one down
below, and see if you still get the same kind of errors.
And there is nothing to be despaired of. I had similar problems too.
Just that I don't r...

For a first order loop, holding the voltage constant at 1/2 scale (also at
1/8, 1/4, ...) will show some limit cycle. This is a well documented

A higher order loop or a quantizer of more than 1 bit will reduced this
problem. Another technique is to add random noise in the loop, jus...

Hi Chintan,
I think you are asking how a known frequency response affects the variance
of white noise passing through it.
Imagine that the white noise is broken into its component sinusoids.
Since its random noise, each of these sinusoids is uncorrelated with the
other sinusoids. So, to find ...

If a zero-mean Gaussian random noise signal is at the input to a matched
filter bank (so the input to each filter is identical), what is the nature
of the outputs of each filter in the bank?
Assuming the filters are linear then each output should also be Gaussian,
but are they correlated or m...

Depends on your definition of noise.

Suppose your .wav record consists of [quasi]periodic signal(s)
and random noise. You may try to add and "average" few
periods. To find a period, use auto-correlation or AMDF.
This is just obvious idea, I have never tested.
