Some Important Questions about Different Frequency Bands

Q. What is -3dB frequency response or -3dB bandwidth?

A. At the circuit level, the phrase -3dB frequency response is frequently used. In short, a -3dB frequency response indicates that the signal's power has decreased to half of what it was initially. The frequency at which the output gain is lowered to 70.71% of its highest value is defined by these -3dB corner frequency points. Then, we can rightly state that the frequency at which the system gain has decreased to 0.707 of its maximum value is at the -3dB point. [Read More]

OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...

Coherence Bandwidth and Coherence Time

๐Ÿงฎ Coherence Bandwidth ๐Ÿงฎ Coherence Time ๐Ÿงฎ MATLAB Code s ๐Ÿ“š Further Reading Coherence Bandwidth Coherence bandwidth is a concept in wireless communication and signal processing that relates to the frequency range over which a wireless channel remains approximately constant in terms of its characteristics. Coherence bandwidth is inversely related to the delay spread time (e.g., RMS delay spread). The coherence bandwidth is related to the delay spread of the channel, which is a measure of the time it takes for signals to traverse the channel due to multipath. The two are related by the following approximation: Coherence Bandwidth ≈ 1/(delay spread time) Or, Coherence Bandwidth ≈ 1/(root-mean-square delay spread time) (Coherence bandwidth in Hertz) For instance, if the root-mean-square delay spread is 500 ns (i.e., {1/(2*10^6)} seconds), the coherence bandwidth is approximately 2 MHz (1 / 500e-9) in ...

Pulse Position Modulation (PPM)

Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) is a type of signal modulation in which M message bits are encoded by transmitting a single pulse within one of 2แดน possible time positions within a fixed time frame. This process is repeated every T seconds , resulting in a data rate of M/T bits per second . PPM is a form of analog modulation where the position of each pulse is varied according to the amplitude of the sampled modulating signal , while the amplitude and width of the pulses remain constant . This means only the timing (position) of the pulse carries the information. PPM is commonly used in optical and wireless communications , especially where multipath interference is minimal or needs to be reduced. Because the information is carried in timing , it's more robust in some noisy environments compared to other modulation schemes. Although PPM can be used for analog signal modulation , it is also used in digital communications where each pulse position represents a symbol or bit...

Bartlett Method in MATLAB

Steps to calculate Spectral power density using Bartlett Method 'M' is the length of each segment for the Bartlett method, set to 100 samples. 'K' is the number of segments obtained by dividing the total number of samples N by the segment length 'M'. psd_bartlett_broadband is initialized to store the accumulated periodogram. For each segment k, x_k extracts the k-th segment of the broadband signal. P_k computes the periodogram of the k-th segment using the FFT. The periodograms are accumulated and averaged over all segments. The PSD is plotted in dB/Hz by converting the power values to decibels using 10 * log10.   MATLAB Script clc; clear; close all; % Parameters fs = 1000; % Sampling frequency t = 0:1/fs:1-1/fs; % Time vector N = length(t); % Number of samples % Generate synthetic broadband ARMA process arma_order = [2, 2]; % ARMA(p,q) order a = [1, -0.75, 0....
