Analog and Discrete signals

In the context of signal and systems, analog and discrete signals are two different types of signals that convey information. Analog signal An analog signal is a continuous signal that varies smoothly over time. It can take on any value within a certain range. Analog signals are represented by physical quantities such as voltage, current, … Read more

Exploring Orthogonality: From Vectors to Functions

Keywords: orthogonality, vectors, functions, dot product, inner product, discrete, Python programming, data analysis, visualization Orthogonality Orthogonality is a mathematical principle that signifies the absence of correlation or relationship between two vectors (signals). It implies that the vectors or signals involved are mutually independent or unrelated. Two vectors (signals) A and B are said to be … Read more

Orthogonality of OFDM

OFDM, known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, is a digital modulation technique that divides a wideband signal into several narrowband signals. By doing so, it elongates the symbol duration of each narrowband signal compared to the original wideband signal, effectively minimizing the impact of time dispersion caused by multipath delay spread. OFDM is categorized as … Read more
