Every machine has its own way of communicating with its operator. Some send status emails, some illuminate, but most of them vibrate and make noise. If it hums happily, that’s usually a good sign, but ...

The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) first appeared when microprocessors entered commercial design in the 1970s. Today almost every oscilloscope from high-priced laboratory models to the lowest-priced ...

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are essential building blocks in modern electronic systems. They form the critical link between front-end analog transducers and back-end digital computers that can ...

At the same time there are important disadvantages to using the power-of-two (P2) FFT, in particular limits on the number of reachable transform sizes that make it difficult to match data set sizes ...

Specifications for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) often include a fast Fourier transform (FFT) plot, such as the one shown in the figure, for a 12-bit ADC with a single-frequency input signal. In ...

The Zoom FFT is interesting because it blends complex down conversion, lowpass filtering, and sample rate change through decimation in a spectrum analysis application. The Zoom FFT method of spectrum ...
