    This is teaching at its finest - thank you. I have just finished the "Basic Signal Concepts" and am wondering which playlist I should next follow - do you have a recommendation? My motivation for learning DSP is that I am an amateur radio enthusiast and would like to understand more about SDR (software defined radio) and eventually process signals from a SDR with python/matlab/gnuradio - but that's after I understand the basics! So - can you recommend a playlist order please? Thanks again Kevin M0XYM.

    Nice videos, please keep up the good work.
    I have one question:
    On the top right figure why have you already chosen tau to be pi/2 (isn’t it supposed to be generic)? I mean, when you have extended the plot to the left (from where t = tau), you could have crossed the y-axis at a different point then -1.

    • @iain_explains
      @iain_explains  2 роки тому

      I chose tau to be 1/4 of the wavelength for the sinusoid at frequency f_1 as an example (this corresponds to pi/2), so I could show the plot clearly and explain the concept of how a time shift of a sinusoidal waveform is equivalent to a phase shift.

    I am not able to understand why in your case when you consider a time delay, the linearity is positive with respect to change in frequency and in the textbook Oppenheim and Wilsky, Signals and Systems, 2nd edition, Chapter 6, pg 428 the linear phase for time delay in frequency response is

    • @iain_explains
      @iain_explains  Рік тому +1

      Sorry, I should have made that clearer. It can be confusing. I defined the phase, theta, to equal (2 pi f tau). Which means the formula for a shifted sinusoid is sin(2 pi f t - theta). Other people prefer to write a phase-shifted sinusoid as sin(2 pi f t + theta). The only difference is that their "theta" would be the negative of my "theta" (ie. their "theta" would equal -(2 pi f tau) ).

      Systems with generalized linear phase have an additional frequency-independent constant added to the phase.

  • @hyggeligt007

    Hi Iain, thanks for the intuitive explanation.
    What could be the benefit of having linear phase? Is it simply to avoid communication delays (if any), in real time applications. Are there times where having a linear phase brings no tangible benefits to the table?

    • @iain_explains
      @iain_explains  Рік тому +1

      An example of when it's important to have a linear phase response is in Bandpass Filtering. The aim is to pass the signals in the frequency band of interest (unchanged - apart from an unavoidable time delay), while also completely suppressing any signals that are not in that frequency band. In this case you want to have a flat amplitude spectrum and linear phase response across the frequency band of interest, and have a zero-amplitude response across the rest of the frequency spectrum. Thanks for raising this question. I think I might add this topic to my "to do" list for a future video.

    • @hyggeligt007

      @@iain_explains Noted, I'll read up a bit more on the theory as well.
      As an example, phone lines can have a pass band between 200 Hz to 8 kHz (focused on speech and syllable information). If the filter is designed to have non-linear phase, the speech frequencies lying between that could probably cause unintended interference at the receiver's position, making the caller sound different. Mainly because linear phase implies a constant delay between input and output, whereas the delay would not be constant for non-linear phase (?)
      Perhaps a better example could be in diagnosis of patient data with some monitoring tool (like cardiogram or ECG), where the interference could lead to erroneous interpretation by the doctor.

    what is the condition for the wireless system to be a nonlinear phase system??
    and what if the same copies of the frequency is delayed by different amount does in that case the system becomes non linear phase

    • @iain_explains
      @iain_explains  Рік тому +1

      Wireless channels are generally modelled as being linear (with linear phase). I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the same copies of the frequency". I think you are referring to multi path propagation. In this case, it's still a linear channel. This video might help: "What is Intersymbol Interference ISI?" ua-cam.com/video/I087FUvW2ys/v-deo.html

      Then the signal will be distorted. It won't just be a time-delayed version of the input signal.
