Intuitive explanation of cross-correlation in frequency domain
The concept is based on the convolution theorem, which states that for two signals $x(t)$ and $y(t)$, the product of their Fourier transforms $X(f)$ and $Y(f)$ is equal to the Fourier transform of the ...

Verifying Channel Response Identity
I think you made a mistake between the power spectrum and the Fourier Transform.
This is the right form of the Convolution Theory (Nothing is squared):
$$ \lvert Y(\omega)\rvert = \lvert H(\omega) X(\...

Does sampling in the frequency domain cause time-domain aliasing?
The answer is: yes, sampling in the frequency domain causes aliasing in the time domain, exactly like the dual case: sampling in the time domain causes aliasing in the frequency domain.
There are ...

Under what condition is the available bandwidth $f_s$ instead of $\frac{f_s}{2}$?
If your signal is real-valued, then it's spectrum is conjugate symmetric. That means, that negative frequencies (or frequencies from $\frac{f_s}{2}$ up to $f_s$) are mirrored. Thus we can always ...

DSP interview question: use of the identity in development of a significant transform
This is related to Chirp Z-transform (CZT) (refer to the Bluestein's algorithm). Using this identity, the CZT can be expressed in terms of a convolution. Hence, it can be efficiently implemented using ...

Dual-Tone Multi Frequency signalling
Essentially, the reason why you need two tones is to ensure that a normal human voice can't replicate the tones. As such, by simultaneously generating a tone from a high-frequency group and low-...

Upsampling by zero padding or duplicating sequence
Matlab’s ‘upsample()’ command does not “pad” a sequence with zero-valued samples. The ‘upsample()’ command “stuffs” a sequence with zero-valued samples. “Zero padding” and “zero stuffing” are two ...

A canonical implementation of a digital filter has the minimum number of delay elements. The same filter cannot be implemented with less memory. Since memory is often not the only concern, a canonical ...

How can define an indicator which measures the degree of similarity between two signals?
The general topic of finding similarities between signals is wide ranging:
are the signals of same sampling, length, offset, shift or scale?
where do they take their values (discrete, real, complex)?...

Problems with implementation of a band-stop filter on an MCU (dsPIC) using fixed-point arithmetic
The denominator (recursive coefficients Ai) look OK: the poles of your system are at 45 degree angles ($\pi/4$), with magnitude 0.68 (which is not very aggressive for a notch filter; in my opinion ...

What is meant by Impulse Response
Suppose you have given an input signal to a system:
$$
x(n)=\begin{cases}

0, & \mbox{if } n\ne 0
\end{cases}
$$
Then the output response of that system is known as ...
