Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Wireless Communications and Software Defined Radio (SDR)
Costas loop is a carrier phase synchronization solution devised by John Costas at General Electric Company in 1956 [1]. It had an enormous impact on modem signal processing in general and carrier synchronization in particular. At that time, it was…

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) enables us to find the range of a device transmitting a wireless signal with a particular structure under some conditions. To understand how this process works, we need to look at the big picture of a…

One of the most useful modulation techniques in applications requiring low receiver complexity is Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). In an FSK scheme, digital information is transmitted by changing the frequency of a carrier signal. Binary FSK Binary FSK (BFSK) is…

We have discussed before what a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is and how to find the DFT of some commonly used signals. Here, we will see how a DFT acts as a (crude) bank of filters that can pass the…
