Generating an Analytic Signal Generating Complex Baseband and Analytic Bandpass Signals by Richard Lyons, Nov. 2011 There are so many different time- and frequency-domain methods for generating complex baseband and analytic bandpass signals that I had trouble keeping those techniques straight in my mind. Thus, for my own benefit, I created a kind of reference table showing those methods. I present that table for your viewing pleasure in this blog. For clarity, I define a complex baseband signal as follows: derived from an input analog xbp(t)bandpass signal whose spectrum is shown in Figure 1(a), or discrete input xbp(n) bandpass signal whose spectrum is shown in Figure 1(b), a complex baseband signal is an xBB(n) sequence whose spectrum is that shown in Figure 1(c). The sample rate of an xbp(n) input sequence is defined as fs Hz. Spectrum of analog xbp(t) input signals. (a) –f 0 f Freq c c (Hz) Spectrum of discrete xbp(n) input signals. (b) . –f –f /2 –f 0 f f /2 f Freq s s c c s s (Hz) Spectrum of discrete xBB(n) baseband output signal. (c) . –f –f /2 0 f /2 f Freq s s s s (Hz) Spectrum of discrete xABP(n) analytic bandpass output signal. (d) . 0 –fs –fs/2 –fc fc fs/2 fs 3fs/2 Freq (Hz) Figure 1. Based on the same analog xbp(t) or discrete xbp(n) input bandpass signal, an analytic bandpass signal is an xABP(n) sequence whose spectrum is that shown in Figure 1(d). I realize that, by strict definition, an analytic signal has no negative- frequency spectral energy. And because our xABP(n) output bandpass signal is a discrete sequence it has spectral replications in its negative-frequency spectral region—so calling xABP(n) an analytic signal seems incorrect. We'll bypass that controversy by saying that a discrete sequence is analytic if it has no spectral energy in the frequency range of –fs/2 to zero Hz. 1 Table 1, below, presents my Hit Parade of complex baseband and analytic bandpass signal generation methods. In that table "LPF" means a lowpass, linear-phase, tapped-delay line, FIR filter. All discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs) are implemented with radix-2 fast Fourier transforms (FFTs).

One problem with the quadrature down-converter is it requires two low pass filters; one for the real branch and one for the imaginary branch. A more efficient way is to transform the real signal to a complex signal and then complex heterodyne the resultant signal to baseband. The transformation of a real signal to a complex signal can be done using a Hilbert transform. Building a Hilbert transform directly from its sampled data sequence produces suboptimal results due to time series truncation; another method is building a Hilbert transformer by synthesizing the filter coefficients from half Figure 1: A quadrature down-converter band filter coefficients.

Abstract We propose Hilbert transform and analytic signal construction for signals over graphs. This is motivated by the popularity of Hilbert transform, analytic signal, and mod- ulation analysis in conventional signal processing, and the observation that comple- mentary insight is often obtained by viewing conventional signals in the graph setting. Our definitions of Hilbert transform and analytic signal use a conjugate-symmetry-like property exhibited by the graph Fourier transform (GFT), resulting in a ’one-sided’ spectrum for the graph analytic signal. The resulting graph Hilbert transform is shown to possess many interesting mathematical properties and also exhibit the ability to high- light anomalies/discontinuities in the graph signal and the nodes across which signal discontinuities occur. Using the graph analytic signal, we further define amplitude, phase, and frequency modulations for a graph signal. We illustrate the proposed con- cepts by showing applications to synthesized and real-world signals. For example, we show that the graph Hilbert transform can indicate presence of anomalies and that arXiv:1611.05269v3 [cs.IT] 29 Jan 2018 graph analytic signal, and associated amplitude and frequency modulations reveal com- plementary information in speech signals.

Abstract This paper applies the theory and notation of complex analytic ti" unctions and stochastic process6 to the investigation of the single-sideband angle-modulation process. Low-deviation modulation and linear product detection in the presence of noise are carefully examined for the case of sinusoidal modulation. Modulation by an arbitrary number of sinusoids or by modulated subcarriers is considered. Also treated is a method for increasing modulation efficiency. The paper concludes with an examination of the asymp­ totic (low-noise) performance of nonlinear detection of a single-sideband carrier which is heavily frequenc modulated by a Gaussian process.

  • Signal-Processing Framework for Ultrasound Compressed Sensing Data: Envelope Detection and Spectral Analysis
    applied sciences Article Signal-Processing Framework for Ultrasound Compressed Sensing Data: Envelope Detection and Spectral Analysis Yisak Kim, Juyoung Park and Hyungsuk Kim * Department of Electrical Engineering, Kwangwoon University, Seoul 139-701, Korea; [email protected] (Y.K.); [email protected] (J.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 August 2020; Accepted: 30 September 2020; Published: 4 October 2020 Abstract: Acquisition times and storage requirements have become increasingly important in signal-processing applications, as the sizes of datasets have increased. Hence, compressed sensing (CS) has emerged as an alternative processing technique, as original signals can be reconstructed using fewer data samples collected at frequencies below the Nyquist sampling rate. However, further analysis of CS data in both time and frequency domains requires the reconstruction of the original form of the time-domain data, as traditional signal-processing techniques are designed for uncompressed data. In this paper, we propose a signal-processing framework that extracts spectral properties for frequency-domain analysis directly from under-sampled ultrasound CS data, using an appropriate basis matrix, and efficiently converts this into the envelope of a time-domain signal, avoiding full reconstruction. The technique generates more accurate results than the traditional framework in both time- and frequency-domain analyses, and is simpler and faster in execution than full reconstruction, without any loss of information. Hence, the proposed framework offers a new standard for signal processing using ultrasound CS data, especially for small and portable systems handling large datasets.

Sometimes this is due to the nature of data itself such as human voice which has frequency components from 300 Hz to app. 20 KHz. Other times, such as data from a digital circuit inside a computer, the low rates are due to hardware limitations. Due to their low frequency content, the information signals have a spectrum such as that in the figure below. There are a lot of low frequency components and the one-sided spectrum is located near the zero frequency. Figure 1 - The spectrum of an information signal is usually limited to low frequencies The hypothetical signal above has four sinusoids, all of which are fairly close to zero. The frequency range of this signal extends from zero to a maximum frequency of fm. We say that this signal has a bandwidth of fm.
