Still in my Bachelor of Electrical Engineering. I'm new to signal processing, but trying my best. I'm doing a project right now and try to get used to MATLAB.

Yeah, the constellation diagram is the first part of the task. The modulation symbols have to be labelled as you can see in the photograph. But I have no clue about...

Digital Modulation Methods

So I'm currently working on preparatory lab tasks, which, unfortunately, I cannot solve. For an 8-PSK modulation I consider the bit sequence 011 111 001 000 ,...

allright, thanks Fred! - I have edited my question and I hope it is more clear now - although I admit the code lines look a little confusing

Complex envelope and analytic signals.

New thread started 8 years ago
I can't get my head around the complex envelope and analytic signals. I know I have asked this before, but I considered the problem again and to me it hasn't been...
thx very much, it does help!
The AM/PM curve of a power amplifier gives the difference in phase of the output and the input signal in dependence of the input power/ amplitude. Now, this phase...
Thanks Fred, this really helps! But I am still a little bit confused: Since you asked for a definition of the one-sided Fourier transform, I started looking...
The spectrum of an analytic signal equals twice the spectrum of its real part for positive frequencies and it is zero for negative frequencies. Now, I wonder: When...

Did you mean to ask me that question? I don't see the link to my original question. And I have no clue about it. I mean, I'm grateful if you are trying to give me...
I can extract the amplitude and the phase from the complex envelope representation. This can easily be done with abs() and phase() command in Matlab. I think it...

AM/PM of a RF power amplifier

New thread started 8 years ago
The AM/PM characteristic of a RF power amplifier graphs the phase difference of the input and the output signal in dependance of the amplitude of the input signal. I...
Ya, I thought so too. It is kind of urgent now, however. Can you still explain to me where I find the AM/PM in my mathematical expression? I don't know what you...
ok, let me see: A power spectrum cannot have negative components. That means, with the sin(2wt) term, I am substracting a positive power. Leaving out this term...
so, does distortion mean "distorted from the linear transfer characteristic" ?
the sine-wave at 2wt is also phase shifted by pi/2. Is this the phase distortion ? .. If I would draw the power spectrum of the output signal, would the term at...
thx, this really helps! I have tried both with a sine and a cos two-tone signal: x(t) = sin(wt) + a * sin(wt)^2x(t) = sin(wt) + a/2 * (1 - cos(2 wt) ) x(t) =...

I am trying to add a Matlab graphic to a LaTeX document. I know there are various ways of achieving this and I hope somebody here can explain it to me.  I have...
wow, this is so much input, thank you guys so much! This should be the correct result then: The equivalent lowpass, or complex envelope representation is often...
Ok. Sorry, I'm a little slow on this topic. If I understand correctly, by shifting a bandpass signal down to baseband, half of the information will be in the negative...
Thx Tim, I feel like I am slowly getting there, but I'm not quite there yet. So from your nice exponential formulas trick, I see that you are basically just shifting...
I don't know how to show that these signals are not equal, but here's my intuition: The original two-tone signal consists of two cos-waves at different frequencies....
Is this, what you mean by re-casting: Is this still the same two-tone signal then?
I know I have been asking a lot about amplifiers, this will be the last question, I promise! So, any single-tone signal can be represented as an equivalent lowpass:...

allright, thx! I don't have software to validate your answer, but it is what I figured.
I consider a single-tone input to a nonlinear amplifier. I know, the nonlinearity will produce additional harmonic components at the output. I also know, the amplitude...
thanks for your reply, Tim! The paper is about TWTAs. And the formula is stated to be valid for a two-tone input. Let me see, if I understand your reply correctly:...
