Yes,I would add that Block codes can be linear, systematic and cyclic. I don't know if non-linear block code are used in practice.

To reduce the computation intensity, I would first do the symbol time recovery using a feedback strategy, because they are usually less computationally intense...

The y axe is in logarithm scale. A logarithm function returns a negative value for a lower than 1 input. If you compute the logarithm of a negative number you will...
Forgive me if I am saying things you already known. Group delay is not constant for IIR filter. It is a function of the frequency. Therefore, your filter will produce...
Thank you Slartibartfast,However I am still a little bit confuse. I thought that the single-sided power spectral density definition was$$ S^{'}_{xx}(\omega)=S_{xx}(\omega)+S_{xx}(-\omega)...
Please someone correct me if I am wrong.Baseband and Passband bandwidth definitions are the same for real and complex signal. I mean, baseband bandwidth is the...

Re: Why downsampling with sine and cosine

Reply posted 7 years ago (01/22/2018)
Hi, First, lets fix some terms. The process of converting a signal to a lower frequency is named as downconversion. So, you downconvert you signal, initially...
Do you want to implement a filter with a non-constant group-delay x frequency response?If so, you can use an IIR filter or a non-linear phase FIR filter.To design...

Re: Fixed-point FFT scaling

Yes, your right for complex sinusoidal signal or a constant signal. For a real sinusoidal signal, it will be N/2.

It depends on your input signal frequency because of the DFT scalloping loss. For rectangular time window, the scallop loss can be as high as 3.92 dB (or 0.6368...

If we can assume that your real input tone frequency is never close to 0 Hz, we can say that you will not experience gains larger than N/2. The input power will...

To reduce LUT length, use abs(x) as LUT address, instead of re(x) and image(x). If you want to further reduce LUT, you can convert abs(x)=M*2^E, where M is a short mantissa...

Re: anti aliasing filter

I have never design an analog anti-aliasing filter. However, I know that If you are going to model your input as a white noise, you have to set a band limit to...

Re: anti aliasing filter

A white noise has infinite energy, if you do not filter the signal before sampling, you will have infinite noise energy. However, a true white noise do not exist...

Am I required to use at least N point DFT? In a way, is the requirement on N point somehow related to sampling frequency?Required is a very strong word. If you...

1) I do not know if this term "observation window" is normally used, but I guess you got the idea correctly here.2) I guess you mean that your tone frequency is...

Re: Can we paralleize the integrator stage of CIC?

Accumulation is a linear operation, so it is possible. You can have N parallel accumulators, preceded by a commutator, and followed by a pipeline adder to sum up...

You can always greatly improve your resolution and noise bandwidth by increasing the window length, but this comes with a cost in computation complexity. Changing the...

The proposed laser thing is not a clock, since it only generates two pulse. It only generates one time period that has very low variation between experiment realizations.By...

I have no experience in measuring Allan Variance, but I guess you need a very stable time interval to make the measures for all atomic clocks. So the question is...

Yes, a quadrature modulator can be used to generate all kind of modulation, as long as you can control the I and Q signals that feed it. It allows you to convert...
No. They are not equivalent. In $$x(t) \cdot e^{-j w_1 t} * h(t) $$ frequency shift is applied in the input signal, while in $$x(t) * (h(t) \cdot e^{-j w_1 t})$$...
You don't need to know the phase of your income signal to make a frequency shift on it.
Yes, Yes and Yes. But I am not so sure that$$ x(t) \cdot e^{-j w_1 t} * h(t) = x(t) * (h(t) \cdot e^{-j w_1 t} \cdot rect(2\pi/T_h) $$when \(w_1=2\pi/T_h\),I...
So, you want to approximate$$y_1(t) = \left (x(t) \cdot e^{-jw_{1}t} \right ) * h(t)$$where \(x(t)\) is your input signal, * is the convolution operation, \(w_{1}\) is...
