Extremely low frequency filters

I have a data acquisition board(A/D+Digital Signal Processor) and I want to check if a digital high-pass filter(implemented in DSP) at an extremely low cut-off frequency(0.05Hz) is actually working. ...

Why do we need two Long training sequences for Channel Estimation in 802.11a and 802.11p systems?

I am working on 802.11p and was wondering about the channel estimation part. At physical layer (PPDU), The preamble contains 10 Short Training Sequence and two Long training same sequences. Why do ...

PSD Periodogram smaller segments compared to larger segment

I am calculating the power spectrum of a heart rate variability via FFT and a Welch window. I have a sample of 500 points as the input signal. The signal was broken up into two 128 point segments. ...

Space-time filtering vs. beamforming

Say I have a dense linear array of sensors in space and an acoustic signal propagating through them. In this case, how would delay-and-sum beamforming compare to space-time filtering by masking the ...

Homography for (small baselien) Stereo Image Registration

If the distance between two stereo cameras (baseline) is much smaller than the distance to the geometry, is it possible to align the resulting two stereo images using a homography?

real time signal analysis of output from an audio device

I'm writing a test program that can detect pops/cracks/noise (unknown frequencies and duration) in the audio output of an audio device. The purpose of this program is to reduce human error and make ...

CDMA-DSSS with orthogonal codes and BPSK modulation: proper way to demodulate

I am having problems when demodulating the signal: If I demodulate the sequence chip by chip and then operate only with binary information the "integrate and dump" (correlator) sometimes will provide ...

Why is this recursive DFT algorithm not equivalent to this iterative method?

Edit 1/30 - Taking @Fat32's edits into account, it seems like there is still an issue with the scale of the frequency axis. While version 2 correctly identifies the response at 1 HZ, version 1 seems ...

Applying a filter on an input sequence in matlab

Given a input sequence $x = {x_1, ... x_n}$ and a filter with l elements $h = [h_1, ..., h_l]$ with l < n. We want to filter the input sequence with the specified filter. My first thought was to ...

Filter a picture by its color spectrum

I want to split an image in half and remove all colors from one half which aren't present in the other half. I already converted the image from RGB to YCBCR but I'm not sure (from a theoretical ...

16-QAM output waveforms vs. 4-PAM levels

I've found some conflicting information about how the I/Q waveforms look compared to the 4-PAM signals before the modulator. Here it is shown that the 4-PAM digital signals are filtered, so the ...

How do Anti-Aliasing-Filters in audio signal processing work?

I am a little confused about the use of anti-aliasing filters. As on how I am confused, please consider the following task: Consider a simple sampling rate conversion system with a conversion rate ...

Estimators for improved spectral subtraction of noise

Real zero-mean Gaussian white noise, independent of a clean signal $x$ and of known variance is added to $x$ producing a noisy signal $y.$ Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) $Y$ of the noisy signal is ...

how is this method of proving shift invariance correct

I got this answer from here. But i don't know how this method is correct. Until now to prove shift invariance what i did was : step 1: delay output and write it in terms of input. step 2: delay input ...

What is the duration of the spreading sequence

I have a question regarding the spreading sequence duration using Walsh matrix. I've read a paper related to that, they consider the signal $S = R(S) + I(S)$, where $R(S), I(S)$ are the real and ...

How to find the instantanous SNR over Fading channel

I would like to prove that the instantnous SNR of flat fading channel $$y=hx+n$$ is $$\gamma=\frac{|h|^2}{N_0}P$$ where $E\{z\}$ is the expectation of $z$ and $$E\{x\}=P$$ $$E\{n\}=0$$  E\{...
(Schuam's DSP Outline, 2nd edition, problem 6.11(c), page 241). Is there a DFT down-sampling property that looks something like this: Given $x[\![n]\!]_M$ we want to downsample from M to N to obtain ...
