  • Lecture 11 : Discrete Cosine Transform Moving Into the Frequency Domain
    Lecture 11 : Discrete Cosine Transform Moving into the Frequency Domain Frequency domains can be obtained through the transformation from one (time or spatial) domain to the other (frequency) via Fourier Transform (FT) (see Lecture 3) — MPEG Audio. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) (new ) — Heart of JPEG and MPEG Video, MPEG Audio. Note : We mention some image (and video) examples in this section with DCT (in particular) but also the FT is commonly applied to filter multimedia data. External Link: MIT OCW 8.03 Lecture 11 Fourier Analysis Video Recap: Fourier Transform The tool which converts a spatial (real space) description of audio/image data into one in terms of its frequency components is called the Fourier transform. The new version is usually referred to as the Fourier space description of the data. We then essentially process the data: E.g . for filtering basically this means attenuating or setting certain frequencies to zero We then need to convert data back to real audio/imagery to use in our applications. The corresponding inverse transformation which turns a Fourier space description back into a real space one is called the inverse Fourier transform. What do Frequencies Mean in an Image? Large values at high frequency components mean the data is changing rapidly on a short distance scale. E.g .: a page of small font text, brick wall, vegetation. Large low frequency components then the large scale features of the picture are more important. E.g . a single fairly simple object which occupies most of the image. The Road to Compression How do we achieve compression? Low pass filter — ignore high frequency noise components Only store lower frequency components High pass filter — spot gradual changes If changes are too low/slow — eye does not respond so ignore? Low Pass Image Compression Example MATLAB demo, dctdemo.m, (uses DCT) to Load an image Low pass filter in frequency (DCT) space Tune compression via a single slider value n to select coefficients Inverse DCT, subtract input and filtered image to see compression artefacts.

  • Electromagnetic Theory
    Electromagnetic Theory Electromagnetic Waves come in many varieties, What difference did it make? Maxwell’s new law including radio waves, from the ‘long-wave’ band and Faraday’s law give a wave equation, implying through VHF, UHF and beyond; microwaves; infrared, that any disturbance in the electric and magnetic visible and ultraviolet light; X-rays, gamma rays etc. fields will be self sustaining and travel out in space at the speed of light as an ‘electro-magnetic’ wave. About 1860, James Clerk Maxwell brought together all the known laws of electricity and What happened next? In 1887 Heinrich Hertz used magnetism: a spark-gap transmitter and receiver to demonstrate that these waves actually existed: • Gauss’ law gives the electric field pro- ∇∙D = ρ duced by electric charges • Faraday’s law gives the electric field produced by a changing magnetic field ∇×E = −∂B/∂t • Ampère’s law gave the magnetic field produced by an electric current ∇×H = J • A fourth law states that individual magnetic charges cannot exist ∇∙B = 0 In a metal wire electric charges flow round as a continuous current, while in an insulator they are only displaced by a small distance. Maxwell reasoned that this displacement could still make a current, ∂D/∂t, and so he reformulated Ampère’s law as ∇ ∇×H = J + ∂D/∂t. The spark generator causes a current spike across the gap in the central antenna. The transient pulse of electric field travels outwards at the speed of light. It alternates in direction (red for up, blue for down) making a Maxwell’s equations are essential to the wave, and carries with it a magnetic field and electromagnetic energy.

  • Signal Shorts
    Signal Shorts Bill Fawcett Director of Engineering The Problem WMRA has published a coverage map which shows where we expect our signal to reach, based on formulas devised by the FCC. Yet even within our established coverage area, there are locales in which the signal sounds "fuzzy". In most cases, the topography of the area is causing "multi-path" interference, that is, reflections of the signal off of nearby mountains adds to the direct signal, but delayed somewhat in time, and scrambles the received signal. This is the same phenomenon that causes "ghosts" on your TV (shadow- images on your screen, not the "X-Files"). Multipath is a significant problem along the I-81 corridor North of Harrisonburg to Strasburg. Also at Penn Laird along Route 33. Multipath problems are so site-specific that moving a radio a few feet may make a difference. The next time you get a fuzzy signal at a traffic light you may note that it clears up by advancing a few feet (watch out for the car in front of you, or you may have other, more serious, problems). Switching to mono, if possible, will also help. Other areas suffer from terrain obstructions. This may be noted at Massanutten Resort, and in the UVA area of Charlottesville. For those outside of the predicted coverage area, signal strength (the lack of) may be a problem, as may interference. North of Charlottesville this is a big problem, with interference from a high-power station in Washington D.C. causing problems. Lastly, the downtown Charlottesville area suffers from interference from WCYK's 105.1 translator.

  • Amplitude Modulation Fundamentals
    chapter 3 Amplitude Modulation Fundamentals In the modulation process, the baseband voice, video, or digital signal modifies another, higher-frequency signal called the carrier, which is usually a sine wave. Carrier A sine wave carrier can be modified by the intelligence signal through ampli- tude modulation, frequency modulation, or phase modulation. The focus of this chapter is amplitude modulation (AM). Amplitude modulation (AM) Objectives After completing this chapter, you will be able to: Calculate the modulation index and percentage of modulation of an AM signal, given the amplitudes of the carrier and modulating signals. Define overmodulation and explain how to alleviate its effects. Explain how the power in an AM signal is distributed between the carrier and the sideband, and then compute the carrier and sideband powers, given the percentage of modulation. Compute sideband frequencies, given carrier and modulating signal frequencies. Compare time-domain, frequency-domain, and phasor representations of an AM signal. Explain what is meant by the terms DSB and SSB and state the main advantages of an SSB signal over a conventional AM signal. Calculate peak envelope power (PEP), given signal voltages and load impedances. 93 3-1 AM Concepts As the name suggests, in AM, the information signal varies the amplitude of the carrier sine wave. The instantaneous value of the carrier amplitude changes in accordance with the amplitude and frequency variations of the modulating signal. Figure 3-1 shows a single- frequency sine wave intelligence signal modulating a higher-frequency carrier. The carrier frequency remains constant during the modulation process, but its amplitude varies in accordance with the modulating signal.
