Square wave Definition and 78 Threads

Why does square wave for both excitation and demodulation lead to demodulation at DC While using one of the signals sine the signal gets demodulated to odd harmonics? I'm unable to do the maths of Fourier expansion and multiplying and passing through low pass filter

I'm a marine engine mechanic, and as engine controls & sensor systems have gotten more complicated with current technology, my shop gets more & more requests for instrumentation & control system repairs. I have a lot of trouble getting technical info from suppliers, so I have been starting to...

Hi all There is RF signal in frequency range of 240 MHz to 500 MHz which has been amplitude modulated by 155 Hz square wave signal. The problem is to recover 155 Hz signal while exact RF Carrier frequency is unknown (240 MHz to 500 MHz). Is there any ready made COTs solution available for such...

I am trying to create a two phase type setup where I have a square wave in the multi-gigahertz frequency. However, I want the second wave to start once the first one reaches 90 degrees. How can the circuit be configured to do this? Will a phase shifter do or can a square wave be phase shifted at...

Hello! I know that a square or saw tooth wave consists of infinite amount of sinousoids each having different frequency and amplitude. But when I look at their plot they seem to have a well defined frequency or period. Which term in the Fourier series determines their frequency? Does a saw...

Hi, Simple question, sort of: I see that according to the internet the mathematical description of a triangular wave is rather complex, so I'll try to stay as far away from that as I can, because I'm a bit rusty. I understand that if you integrate a square wave you get a triangular wave on the...

Homework Statement I am having trouble understanding what this picture is showing. [/B] I know that in the case of a sine wave, the voltage below zero will not conduct much if it does not drop past the breakdown region. On the other hand, it will start to conduct and grow exponentially at...

I am wondering if anyone has used AD8333 to demodulate a square wave input (Not the LO, but the RF input).

Hey guys, It is stated that a 100% perfect square shaped wave have infinite odd harmonics and it is impossible to produced theoretically. But, assuming if a perfect square wave is produced, what would it sound like? I remember someone said it in Youtube it would actually sound like a clarinet...

I'm looking to get some help understanding the tachometer out specifications for an MSD 6AL ignition control unit. It specifies that "The Tach Output wire produces a 12 voltage square wave signal with a 22.5° duty cycle." I'm fine with the fact that its a 12 volt square wave, but I'm a...

Good morning everyone, I am taking a signals and systems course where we are now studying the Fourier series. I understand that this is for signals that are periodic. But I get hung up when determining the Fourier coefficients. In the video by Alan Oppenheim, he derives the equation for...

Sorry for the wording of the topic- I couldn't figure out how to make it fit. If I passed a hypothetical square wave through a material- be it wood, glass, cotton, etc.- would it change to look more like a sine wave?

In my physics book there is an example of making a square wave by "simply" summing up a few cosine waves. The book says these first three waves are the first three Fourier components of a square wave, yet when I sum the three wave functions up, I get something way off; as does my calculator...

Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie to additive synthesis.. I just want to clarify that I am doing the correct calculation before continuing. If I wanted to calculate the 5th harmonic of a square wave (the fundamental freq. being 200Hz and the amplitude of the fundamental being 1) would the...

for a square wave function, f(x)= { -1, -∞ ≤ x ≤ 0; +1, 0 ≤ x ≤ ∞ Expanding it in Fourier series gives a function like, f(x) = (4/π) * Ʃn=0∞( (sin ((2n+1)x) / (2n+) ) Plotting a graph of the equation gives something like this, http://goo.gl/vFJhL which obviously doesn't look like a...

Hi all, I am trying to create a square wave pulse that lasts for a relatively small amnount of time which corresponds (as close as possible) to the peak of a sin wave input of period about 1 second. The only way that I can think of doing this is via a programmable device such as an arduino...

I need to connect the transformer to an 5V open-collector source as shown below, but the load must not see a larger impedance than 50Ω. The 5V source is an internal source to the driver and not available outside of it. As it stands, the seen impedance will be 5k when the bjt is off, so this will...
