Hello, What I'd like to do is simulate receiving a radar signal, accumulating the values (say an array of 40 values), and then perform a power spectrum on this array. Data from the radar is shown to be normally distributed. There are the I and Q parts of the signal, but the complex are being thrown away (is that okay?) when doing the accumulation in order to compute the power spectrum. So, we have a time series of data, say 4182 points, that we iterate through (pts 1 to 4142) accumulating those values into an array (of 40 values). The array, after this process, usually looks "flat", i.e. most of the values are basically "equal" to each other. Note, that isn't always the case. Would the power spectrum appear as a flat line? Thanks, IM |
