What effect does a delay in the time domain have in the frequency domain?

If I have a signal that is time limited, say a sinusoid that only lasts for $T$ seconds, and I take the FFT of that signal, I see the frequency response. In the example this would be a spike at the ...

How to calculate a delay (correlation peak) between two signals with a precision smaller than the sampling period?

I would like to calculate a delay between two signals in MATLAB. Normally, I would do this with a cross-correlation (xcorr), and then calculate the position of the ...

What exactly is a 90 degree phase shift of a digital signal in FM demodulation appraoches?

I am working on an FSK demodulator (1200/2200Hz, 1200 baud) featuring a 90 degree phase shift operation. I don't exactly understand what 360 degrees mean for a digital signal. My sampling frequency ...

Flat fading criterion of OFDM subcarrier spacing

I have always thought that the OFDM subcarrier spacing $\Delta f$ is chosen such that not too small because Doppler spread can destroy subcarrier orthogonality not too large to avoid Cyclic Prefix (...

Emulating a Variable Delay

I am trying to emulate a satellite link where the delay time between the satellite and ground station changes over time due to the satellite's motion. I plan do this by converting to the frequency ...

Is a notch filter for 50 Hz without delay possible?

I am processing an EEG signal (2 kHz sampling frequency) from hardware and the built-in filter doesn't work as intended. FIR gives a delay, and IIR is unstable. The signal of interest is from 4&...

GCC-PHAT always peaks at zero when estimating delay offset

My question is that when I used gcc-phat to estimate delay between two audio signals, it always returns zero offset. However normal cross correlation Xcorr gives a good result. I don't know the reason....

Are there equations for placing sounds in the stereo field using delays?

I'm thinking of the typical stereo widener (haas, binaural) effects here, those that extend from the typical pan knob to create "out of the headphones" -experience. These processors can be automated ...

Confused with filtering linear chirp signal using band-pass filter

everyone. Recently, I am doing simulations about filtering a linearly chirp signal, and have been confused about the result. The signal was linearly chirped from 0 to 1000 Hz. At first, the chirping ...

LTI system $y(t)=x(t-T)$ with or without memory

How can I verify if the LTI system ($T$ is a real number, $y(t)$ output, $x(t)$ input): $$y(t)=x(t-T)$$ is with or without memory? I know that, if $y(t)$ depends only on $x(t)$, the LTI system will ...
