What we have learned so far

So far, the main things that we have learned is that shorter pulses require greater bandwidth, and the bandwidth required to faithfully represent atruncated sinusoidal pulse is the reciprocal of the length of the pulse.

Separating closely spaced frequencies

Now we will look at the issues involved in using spectral analysis to separate and identify the frequencies of two closely-spaced spectral peaks for apulse composed of the sum of two sinusoids. Once again, we will begin by looking at some results and then discuss the code that produced those results.

Five new pulses

The five pulses that we will be working with in this example are shown in Figure 4 . As you can see, these pulses are a little more ugly than the pulses shown in Figure 1 . As you can also see, as was the case in Figure 1 , each pulse appears to be a shorter or longer version of the other pulses in terms of itswaveform.

Produced by dsp032a

The plots in Figure 4 were produced by the program named Dsp032a , which I will briefly discuss later. (A complete listing of the program is shown in Listing 11 near the end of the module.) This program creates and displays pulses identical to those processed by the program named Dsp032 , which I will also briefly discuss later. (A complete listing of the program named Dsp32 is presented in Listing 12 .)

Five time series containing pulses

The program creates and displays five separate time series, each 400 samples in length. Each time series contains a pulse and the pulses are differentlengths. As before, each of the pulses shown in Figure 4 is half the length of the pulse below it.

The sum of two sinusoids

Each pulse consists of the sum of two sinusoids at closely spaced frequencies. The frequencies of the two sinusoids for all pulses are the same.

All frequency values are specified as type double as a fraction of the sampling frequency. The frequencies of the two sinusoids areequidistant from a center frequency of 0.0625 times the sampling frequency.

(Recall that 0.0625 was the frequency of the only sinusoid contained in the pulses shown in Figure 1 and processed by the program named Dsp031 .)

The frequencies and pulse lengths

The frequency of one sinusoid is (0.0625 - 2.0/len) times the sampling frequency, where len is the length of the time series containing the pulse. (The value for len is 400 samples in this program.) The frequency of the other sinusoid is (0.0625 + 2.0/len) times the sampling frequency.

The lengths of the five pulses are:

  • 25 samples
  • 50 samples
  • 100 samples
  • 200 samples
  • 400 samples

(Note that Figure 4 has tick marks every 25 samples.)

The program named Dsp032a

The only new code in this program is the code in the constructor that creates the pulses and stores them in the data arrays. This code consists of fiveseparate for loops, one for each pulse. The code for the first for loop, which is typical of the five, is shown in Listing 6 .

Listing 6. New code in the the program named Dsp032a.
public Dsp032a(){//constructor //Create the raw datafor(int x = 0;x<len/16;x++){ data1[x]= amp*Math.cos(2*pi*x*freq1) + amp*Math.cos(2*pi*x*freq2);}//end for loop //... code removed for brevity}//end constructor

Issan Reply
Astronomy (from Ancient Greek ἀστρονομία (astronomía) 'science that studies the laws of the stars') is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry in order to explain their origin and evolution.

the big bang theory is a theory which states that all matter was compressed together in one place the matter got so unstable it exploded releasing All its contents in the form of hydrogen

Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases , rock and dust that orbit the sun. They are mostly found between the orbits of Venus and Mercury.

why the moon is always appear in an elliptical shape
Gatjuol Reply
Because when astroid hit the Earth then a piece of elliptical shape of the earth was separated which is now called moon.

according to the theory of astronomers why the moon is always appear in an elliptical orbit?

hi !!! I am new in astronomy.... I have so many questions in mind .... all of scientists of the word they just give opinion only. but they never think true or false ... i respect all of them... I believes whole universe depending on true ...থিউরি

there are many theories regarding this it's on you believe any theory that you think is true ex. eternal inflation theory, oscillation model theory, multiple universe theory the big bang theory etc.

I think after Big Bang!

from where on earth could u observe all the stars during the during the course of an year
Karuna Reply
I think it couldn't possible on earth
Nagalakshmi
in this time i don't Know
Michele
is that so. the question was in the end of this chapter
Karuna
in theory, you could see them all from the equator (though over the course of a year, not at pne time). stars are measured in "declination", which is how far N or S of the equator (90* to -90*). Polaris is the North star, and is ALMOST 90* (+89*). So it would just barely creep over the horizon.
