Magnitude and phase spectrum of a periodic signal

For magnitude and phase you need the complex Fourier coefficients: $$c_n=\frac{1}{T}\int_{0}^Tx(t)e^{-j2\pi nt/T}dt\tag{1}$$ I think your Fourier series is correct, so you can directly determine them ...

Does upsampling require a low-pass filter?

If you're linearly interpolating, there is that $\operatorname{sinc}^2 \left( \frac{f}{f_\mathrm{s}} \right)$ filtering, this puts zeros exactly on all non-zero integer multiples of your sample rate (...

What does the frequency domain of bipolar Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) look like?

Calculating the power spectrum of the AMI code is actually a quite complicated matter, but the fact that the power spectrum has a zero at DC seems intuitively clear, as already mentioned in RBJ's ...

What does the frequency domain of bipolar Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) look like?

Okay, so "Google is my friend" and I found a YouTube. Bits that are zero contribute nothing to the DC component. If the number of ones in a message is even, it's as positive as often as it ...

Fourier transform magnitude of the sum of two signals

In general we have $$\big|X_1(f)+X_2(f)\big|\neq \big|X_1(f)\big|+\big|X_2(f)\big|\tag{1}$$ However, the condition $X_1(f)X_2(f)=0$ $\forall f$ implies that for any $f$, either $X_1(f)$ or $X_2(f)$ or ...

How to increase the spectral resolution?

Actually, you can achieve exact frequency retrieval from the DFT samples: Super-Resolving a Frequency Band. What is interesting is that you have an exact formula to characterize the frequency with ...
