Re: Estimating SNR in the Frequency Domain

I didn't say it is a must. If you choose your signal on bin, finding SNR is straightforward.

Does your signal exactly fall on bin?

Noise aliasing with CIC filter

New thread started 6 years ago
Hi,Would the amount of noise aliasing/folding back into signal band change as we change decimation ratio of the CIC filter. (Assume the input has white noise)In...

Hi dszabo,Thanks for your reply.Yes, input data is from ADC. I think 128-point should be sufficient to find the SNR unless you want to find some spurs, in which...

I expect the ADC ENOB to be ~12bits. To model the thermal noise, I have just used rand function with dc offset removed.I am concerned about why the fixed-point FFT...

Hi Artmez,Thanks for the reply. My input data is from output of ADC including the thermal noise. Also, the tone is placed on bin. So, the SNR is not really SQNR...

Hi,I measured the SNR of an input signal with full precision and 16-bit fixed-point precision FFT in matlab.The full precision resulted in 69dB SNR, but the fixed-point...

Thanks a lot. But this is true only if the signal in not on bin, right?If my input tone is placed on bin and I want to measure the SNR, then the gain should be N,...

Why is the gain dependent on my input tone?

Thanks Tavassoli.I am just wondering if DFT/FFT and Goertzel evaluates the same bin, why should Goertzel depend on additional sample?

Hi,You might want to try Goertzel algorithm and get the estimate of mag/phase of the bin you are interested in.CheersKrishna

It works perfectly fine, if I operate the first stage integrator also with the same bit-width as the last stage differentiator.

Hi Rick,Wouldn't that be equivalent to (1-z^-AB)/(1-z^-1) from the simplied diagram I have posted earlier?Krishna

Re: Back to back CIC filters

Reply posted 7 years ago (04/21/2017)
Tim,Absolutely. I was thinking the same, the bit-widths need to be same between integrators/differentiators. Hence, in theory what I have shown might make sense...

Re: Back to back CIC filters

Reply posted 7 years ago (04/21/2017)
The second integrator operates at the same rate as the differentiator of the first stage. So, the 1/(1-z^-1) is infact 1/(1-z^-R1).

Hi cfelton,I am talking about the differentiators of the 1st stage and integrators of 2nd stage. Isn;t it (1-z^-1)^3/(1-z^-1)^4 ?Krishna

Exactly Dave. CIC polyphase doesn't make much sense.
