Please, help me interpret my Simulink simulation of AM. Why does carrier not appear in the spectogram?
Carrier is 2 * pi * 25, modulating signal is 2 * pi, all the amplitudes are 1s and zero phase.
I realized that I could add a sine wave right at the end. I get a carrier in frequency domain, but my ...

How can I improve the resolution of a spectrogram of a low-frequency signal with high sampling frequency (Python)?
Imagine you have signals $x_1(t)$ and $x_2(t)$ that contain a limited number of periods of low frequency oscillations and are sampled at 44100Hz (coming from an external source) and you want to obtain ...

Why should one choose the maximum as reference for power-to-decibel conversion?
I have seen that one converts the amplitude to decibels through:
$\text{dB(S)}=10 \text{log}_{10} \big(\text{S/ref}\big)$, where $\text{S}$ is the output of a STFT and ref the reference value for the ...
