Signal analysis through analog representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to the analysis of signals based on analog representation of measurements. Methodologically, it relies on the consideration and full use of the continuous nature of a realistic, as opposed to an idealized, measuring process. Mathematically, it is based on the transformation of discrete or continuous signals into normalized continuous scalar elds with the mathematical properties of distribution functions. This approach allows a simple and e ̄ cient implementation of many traditionally digital analysis tools, including nonlinear ltering techniques based on order statistics. It also enables the introduction of a large variety of new characteristics of both oneand multi-dimensional signals, which have no digital counterparts.

Improving adaptive resolution of analog to digital converters using least squares mean method
This paper presents an adaptive digital resolution improvement method for extrapolating and recursive analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The presented adaptively enhanced ADC (AE-ADC) digitally estimates the digital equivalent of the input signal by utilizing an adaptive digital filter (ADF). The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm also determines the coefficients of the ADF block. In this sch...
متن کاملOFDM transmitters: analog representation and DFT-based implementation
The implementation of OFDM transmitters typically consists of a discrete DFT matrix and a digital-to-analog (DAC) converter. Many existing results on the analysis of OFDM systems, e.g., spectral roll-off, are based on a convenient analog representation. In this paper, we show that the analog representation and the DFT-based OFDM transmitters are equivalent only in special cases. Using the analo...

The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
