Study Notes
Signals and Noise
- Sinusoid is represented by a mathematical function that can be used for modulation and keying
- Nyquist Sampling Theorem is a principle that helps to avoid aliasing and extract useful information from signals. Sampling rate should be at least twice the maximum frequency of the signal
- Systems: physical devices performing operations on signals
- Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) Systems:
- Homogeneous: If the input is multiplied by a constant, the output is also multiplied by the same constant
- Additive: The output of the system is the sum of the outputs for individual inputs
- Periodic and Aperiodic Functions:
- Periodic Functions: repeat themselves over a fixed interval
- Aperiodic Functions: do not have a repeating pattern
- Energy and Power:
- Energy signals: have finite energy over an infinite interval
- Power signal: have finite power over an infinite interval
- Internal and External Noise:
- External Noise: Interference from outside sources
- Internal Noise: Noise generated within the system
- Radio Horizon: The distance from the radio transmitter to the point signal can reach
- Ionization Occurs when high energy ultraviolet light from the sun enters the ionosphere and knocks electrons free from atoms in the gas
- D- Layer: The lowest layer of the ionosphere, least ionized, absorbs radio wave signals
- E- Layer: Also called Kennelly-Heaviside Layer; important for medium frequency propagation (MF) and auroral activity
- Ducting: Radio signals follow the curvature of the earth, often due to temperature and density variations in the atmosphere
