Ac 2007-1038: Comparing the Walsh Domain to the Fourier Domain with a Labview-based Communication Systems Toolkit
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the Fourier Transform is the traditional frequency domain analysis tool in communications systems, other transforms are pointed out in the context of orthogonal series representation of periodic signals. Last year, we became interested in the Walsh Transform and developed virtual instruments (VIs) to compute the Walsh transform, to generate the Walsh basis functions and modified LabVIEW’s natural ordered fast Walsh Transform (FWT) routine to provide Walsh ordered Walsh transforms and a recent publication 1 reported on this expansion of the Communication Systems Toolkit into the Walsh domain. This paper will describe the utilization of these most recent tools in order to compare the Walsh domain to the Fourier domain. We will compare the basis functions in each transformation and demonstrate similarities and differences between FFT and FWT. We will then propose a new arrangement of the FWT sequency plots that will correspond to the magnitude spectrum plots obtained by the FFT. We will conclude by a summary of the student responses to exercises comparing these two transform methods.

Venturing into the Walsh Domain with a Labview Based Communication Systems Toolkit
1. ABSTRACT In a recent publication, we reported on the utilization of a LabVIEW based Communication Systems Toolkit in the investigation of a novel idea for envelope detection of amplitude modulated (AM) signals (Wright, Tanyel 2005). In this paper, we will describe our efforts to develop the toolkit further and our investigations into the Walsh domain with the help of our latest developments....
متن کاملDynamic Harmonic Analysis of Long Term over Voltages Based on Time Varying Fourier series in Extended Harmonic Domain
Harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. The widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. This paper employs an Extended Harmonic Domain (EHD) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...
متن کاملEnlarging Domain of Attraction for a Special Class of Continuous-time Quadratic Lyapunov Function Piecewise Affine Systems based on Discontinuous Piecewise
This paper presents a new approach to estimate and to enlarge the domain of attraction for a planar continuous-time piecewise affine system. Various continuous Lyapunov functions have been proposed to estimate and to enlarge the system’s domain of attraction. In the proposed method with a new vision and with the aids of a discontinuous piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function, the domain of attrac...

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...
