What wavelength do we use when calculating the array manifold vector when transmitting LFM waveforms?
We know that the array manifold vector, also called the steering vector, for an M element array is given by:
$$ \mathbf{a}(\theta, \phi) = [e^{-j \omega \tau_{1}(\theta, \phi)}, e^{-j \omega \tau_{2}(\...

What does it mean to find the steady state output in this case?
I have a given $h[n] = 0.96^n$ for $n \in \{0,1,...,119\}$ and a test signal $x[n] = \cos(0.05\pi n)$ for $n \in \{0,1,...,N_x -1\}$ where $N_x = 120,000$.
Now, I can analytically find the output $y[n]...
