    DSP Question Nyquist Sample Rate

    Question: A continuous-time signal x(t) = cos(f(t)), where f(t) = w0 + sin(w0t), is to be sampled at a rate fs. What is the system’s Nyquist sample rate if w0 = 1000/(2pi) r/s? I believe that w0=2*pi*f --> f= (1000/2*pi)*(1/2*pi) = 25.33 Hz and then multiplying by 2 to get the Nyquist...

    10 Gbps Transmission to the Moon and Back

    I did a link budget analysis in syscalc for my receiver a simple heterodyne. I used 30 GHz are the fo, and IF=5 GHz. Range=238855 km (distance from moon-earth), and QPSK modulation, I also needed a BER of 1e-6. According to syscalc the sensitivity will be -59.6 dbm,margin - 130 db. The antenna...

    10 Gbps Transmission to the Moon and Back

    Apparently I can only use radio-links not optical laser.

    Antenna Gain vs. Amplifer Gain

    I see so if the receiver output SNR before was 12 db, now it would be 15 db right, since the 3 db gain, but the noise figure remains the same, because SNR input signal increases? Since SNRout=SNRin(db)-NF(db)

    Antenna Gain vs. Amplifer Gain

    If the SNR at a receiver output is say 12 db, and the antenna gain is increased from 3 db to 6db, but the antenna temperature remains the same, calculate the new SNR? I think the SNR wouldn't change because antenna gain is not the same as amplifier gain and the noise figure did not change since...

    3rd Order Non-Linearity RF question

    I would call a blocker a spurious signal that shows up at the input.

    3rd Order Non-Linearity RF question

    I read that the second-order non-linearity could affect the DC offset, but does the third order non-linearity also affect the DC offset? Also was wondering are these due to 3rd order nonlinearity: - P1db due to signal itself - p1db due to strong blocker (I'm not sure I understand the concept...

    SNR Calculation-System

    I would say Input SNR-NFAmpl-InsertionLossLPF upon further research, but why isn't the gain affecting the calculation.

    10 Gbps Transmission to the Moon and Back

    In a class I'm taking right now the professor assigned us a project to simulate a system that can transmit a 10gpbs signal to the moon from Earth using components that exist. (1) I'm not sure whether this is really possible 10Gpbs is pretty fast (2) If it is, how do I choose the proper...

    Problem with coupling Op-amp???......

    Well for one as you may know the noise of the total system in this case: F = F1 +F2-1/Gain1 From this equation you can see that the Noise Figure (F) is dominated by the first stage. This mean you have to make sure that the gain of the first stage is sufficient to support the second. Also you...

    SNR Calculation-System

    I'm trying to do a SNR calculation INPUT-->LNA--->LPF For example: If the input is 14 db, and the lna has a gain of 20db, and NF=3db, and the LPF filter has a insertion loss of 3dB If I wanted to find out the SNR after the LPF. Is it right to do the follow: 14 + 20 -3 = 31 db? or do I need...

    Help Interfacing PIC16F914-I and an LCD not sure exactly where to start new to PICs

    I recently bought the PIC16F914-I and the LCD LCM-S01602DTR. I'm not very familiar with LCDs and interfacing them with PICS. I understand the general pin layout of the PIC and the LCD. However, I'm not sure how where to connect which pins to my PIC since this model is suppose to be able to drive...
