Delay estimation by FFT

Summary: The delay between a signal and a reference appears in the frequency domain as linear phase shift. It can be estimated with subsample accuracy using FFT methods.This article provides a Matlab ...

Spectral Flipping Around Signal Center Frequency

Most of us are familiar with the process of flipping the spectrum (spectral inversion) of a real signal by multiplying that signal's time samples by (-1)n. In that process the center of spectral rotat...

Correlation without pre-whitening is often misleading

White Lies Correlation, as one of the first tools DSP users add to their tool box, can automate locating a known signal within a second (usually larger) signal. The expected result of a correlation i...
