Signal analysis Definition and 43 Threads

On May 18th, I presented a Colloquium for the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, with the title "A Dataset & Signal Analysis Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics", by Zoom. I attach a PDF of the slides and the YouTube video is here. I am...

Hello! My collegue and I are having hard time to understand what is happening. Basically we have a tapping device that work with Arduino and a pneumatic pump. The pump allows the tapping of two surfaces which perform triboelectric effect. We are connecting to those a logic analyzer (Seleae), to...

Fitness function for window length of filter On a sinusoidal signal with amplitude 1, and period P, an exponential moving average (EMA) (with alpha = 1/n), and a linear weighted moving average (LWMA) (with window length n) are calculated; when you subtract the EMA from the LWMA, it can be seen...

I am taking a class in signal processing. We have a final project in which we seek out "real-world" signal data and process and analyze it, and write a report on what we figured out. I thought it would be interesting to put my own interests into it and try to analyze a pulsar signal. My idea is...

Hi all. I am trying to do MATLAB simulations for generation of SINE Dipole using two hydrophones spaced distance 'd' apart for signal coming from direction 'DOA'. The MATLAB code is given below. The confusion is that there is constant phase difference of 90 degree b/w SINE Dipole generated using...

Hi all! I have a complex waveform, something like what I have attached, and I need to extract the RMS and Peak Voltage from this. However, this signal can and will change after a number of cycles on a certain setting. So, this means the period and duration of pulse can change and so can the...

%My code: %Type of signal: square T = 40; %Period of the signal [s] F=1/T; % fr D = 23; % length of signal(duration) dt=(D/T)*100; N = 50; %Number of coefficientsw0 = 2*pi/T; %signal pulset1= 0:0.002:T; % original signal sampling x1 = square((2*pi*F)*(t1),dt);%initial square signal t2=...

My question is: is the resolving power of an array of radio telescopes a quantum or a classical effect? The increase in resolving power of a single telescope, as aperture size increases, is easy to explain in terms of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. But when we go an array of telescopes are...

Ok, so in the interest of full disclosure at the outset, I'm a 69 y.o. retired epidemiologist who has an interest in HRV signal analysis specifically, and physics as a whole--always have. Am not an EE, physicist or mathematician so be kind, if you will. This is my first post. In signal...

Hello, I have a signal and got the FFT result of that. I have shown them both below along with the MATLAB code. May I ask if there is any method to find the time zone(s) in the signal that a specific frequency has(have) happened? The reason I'm asking this is that I want to specify the time...

I wanted to remove the dc component from a signal but i can't use the average method because i have only a half cycle sampled not a full cycle . Is there any algorithm or method that can remove the dc component using only a half cycle? (The signal is sin(x)+2*sin (2x) +3*cos (3x)+4*cos (4x) +5...

<Moderator note: Moved from academic guidance to career guidance on Scott92's request. Reason: The question primarily addresses job opportunities in dependence of PhD subject.> Hey everyone, I'm a student who is currently undertaking a Master of Physics (coursework & research) at the...

[Moderator's note: This discussion has been spun off from another thread since it was getting into a more technical area only tangentially related to the original thread's topic. Some posts have been edited slightly for the new context.] They're too technical for the question here, and only...

Hey guys, when you're linearizing a function that has a constant, what do you do to it? An example would be y = x^2 + 3, would you just linearize it using its derivative and get rid of the constant?

Interests are many. Bioinformatics, self organizing systems, sociology/history, military technology, communications, echo-location, echo-linguistic’s, and other areas.

Hi all, in several vehicles, I measured the engine torque and speed and the engaged gear while it was driven for around 100km/h. I computed the average engine speed and torque of all the times the vehicle was run with each gear and also I computed the relative frequency of the gear used. So for...

So the question looks like this: Identify the time and/or amplitude transformations that must be applied to the signal x(t) in order to obtain each of the signal specified below. Choose the transformations such that time shifting precedes time scaling and amplitude scaling precedes amplitude...

Hello there. I am stuck trying to figure out the voltage gain of a cascode amplifier from a small signal analysis. The circuit seems to be under-determined for reasons I do not understand or maybe I am missing the perfectly obvious. Here's my small signal model: The only relation I can...

Hi all, I have a signal and I need to check if it is stationary. I segmented a signal into different segments and for each I calculated the average value. It is enough to assess a weak nonstationary? Is there any limit value of the deviation of the average value of each segment with respect to...

In my electrical engineering textbook, they have an entire chapter devoted to the complex Exponential. I don't really understand it, nor do I understand its importance. I know it is extremely important, and need to understand why, and what exactly it is, and the wording of the online resources...

Hi I am trying to program excel to take the DFT of a signal, then bring it back to the time domain after a low pass filter. I have a code that can handle simple data for example t = [ 0, 1, 2, 3] y = [2, 3, -1, 4] So I think everything is great and so I plug in my real signal and things go off...

Hi all, I have 40 signals recorded on a vehicle. Some signals are analog and some are digital with 4 different states. One signal (I call it A) is really important to me, it is positive and all the other signals lead to its variability. For example, when there is a state change in a couple of...

Hello, I'm having some issues with small-signal analysis of BJT differential amplifiers. Let's say I have this BJT differential pair and suppose that Q1 and Q2 perfectly match: http://i50.tinypic.com/14ahdgn.jpg Suppose a small differential input is applied and consider the small–signal...

Hello, I'm studying BJTs and I have a doubt about deriving the output resistance in the small signal equivalent circuit. Let's consider the circuit below: To derive the output resistance, I'd write the following KCL: i_x = i_{rc} + i_c at this point, every example I've seen says R_o = R_c...

Homework Statement Consider the signal x(t)=cos(4t)+cos(5t)+cos(6t), and the SLIT with impulse response: h(t)=\begin{cases} 1, & \mbox{if } |t|<T \\ 0, & \mbox{if } |t|>T \end{cases} For what value of T is the output of the system y(t) equal to Acos(4t)+Bcos(5t), when x(t) is the...

With DFT/FFT/SFTF or similar Fourier transforms, there's always a trade off between frequency and time resolution. It's like the 'uncertainty principle' for signal analysis. I have a few questions regarding this: 1: With a theoretical infinitely fast processor, is it possible to obtain...

Hi, I am trying to get a plot of the sound's magnitude vs. frequency. I have managed to read in a wav file as a matrix. I then compute the fft of this matrix. When I plot the absolute value of this, I get a symmetric plot with peaks at the start and the end. What is this a plot of? Is it...

I don't understand why my book is saying that this system is not invertible. y(t) = cos(x(t)) ? Wouldn't, arccos{ y(t) } = x(t) and therefore be an inverse system?

Ok I have this really simple question that is bugging me. Lets say you have the signal: y(t) = x(t-4) where y(t) corresponds to the output, and x(t) the input. I know this system is invertible, but I don't really know how to show that this is the case. I see that the output is x(t)...
