Orthogonality of Finite Samples of a Function and Its Delayed Version
Consider a band limited function $f(x)$ in $L_2(\mathbb{R})$ with frequency support in $[-B,B]$ . For small delays $\delta$ it is straightforward to show that $f(x)$ and $f(x+\delta)$ are not ...

OFDM up-/downconversion: relation between $f_s$ and $f_c$
I have really hard time trying to wrap my head around how sampling frequency of baseband OFDM signal relates to carrier frequency and how baseband signal is upconverted / downconverted.
Baseband ...

Why sampling in frequency domain generates sidebands although those frequencies are not present in signal?
The frequency domain of a signal provides information of all the frequencies that makes up that signal.
I am reading about sampling, and I want to understand why sidebands(copies of original spectrum) ...

Why is sampled output not considered a digital signal?
Why is a sampled signal not considered a digital signal? Is it after quantization when an analog signal is converted to a digital signal?
In the class, I was told that a sampled signal is a discrete-...

Why does an LTI system not change a signal's sample rate?
I am taking a DSP course, and I want to understand the motivation behind a definition:
$x(t)$ is sampled by C/D at time intervals of $T_s$. We get the sampled signal $x[n]$ and it is fed into a ...

Continuous RF band channels and sampling frequency selection
I am a bit confused on how to digitize my signals. I have 3 independent RF streams which are contiguous, covering 0.4-0.68 GHz, 0.68-1.17 GHz and 1.17-2.00 GHz. I want to digitize each individual ...

Autocorrelation via FFT
I read through a lot of the already existing posts about autocorrelation via FFT on this forum and elsewhere but I am still confused. Also, I am still not sure whether this is the right place to ask ...

Nyquist sampling in non harmonic signals
I know that the Nyquist frequency must be at least twice the frequency of my signal. When I have a product of sinusoidal functions (sines or cosines), I can use the corresponding identities to express ...

Bandpass Sampling Conditions Derivation
I’m taking a DSP course, and we covered bandpass sampling (undersampling). I’d like a rigorous derivation of the minimal sampling frequency $f_s$ and the corresponding constraints on the band edges $\...

Is this the correct shape of an RC-filtered OQPSK-modulated signal?
I'm generating a long sequence of random bits, converting them into two sequences of I and Q OQPSK unit impulses, combining them into a complex signal, and convolving them with the impulse response of ...

Converting between unit sampling train and discrete sampling
To discretize the impulse train sampling of a function ($x_p(t) = x(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \delta(t-nT) $) we use $ x_d[n] = x_p(nT) = x(nT) $ (example: slide 7 of https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/res-...

Does there exist a Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem between two *discrete* domains? Not continuous to discrete
I'm new to signal processing so this might be a dumb question, but that's good if it is because it would have a simple enough answer. But googling around has not helped me so far.
I found on paper ...

Using weighted fill pulses in pulse radar
In the context of pulse radars, I'm wondering exactly why and how so-called "fill pulses" are used.
I understand having $N$ fill pulses allow operators to retrieve $N$ echoes within the ...
