AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the implementation of a generalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram for aperiodically sampled complex data, referencing Brethorst's paper. The user notes that their implementation aligns with a Schuster periodogram, raising questions about the validity of their approach. Key assumptions include setting the decay factor to zero and using equal lengths for the real and imaginary parts of the signal. The user calculates specific quantities and expresses uncertainty about whether their results are correct. They seek recommendations for a periodogram that offers lower side-lobe levels than the Schuster periodogram for their complex signal analysis.

I found a paper by Brethorst where he developed a periodogram that is a generalized version of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram. You can find it here [1].

I tried to implement (22) from this paper to make a periodogram for an aperiodically sampled complex data that is stochastic. I observed that it is the same as a Schuster periodogram. I want to verify what I did. Please let me know if something is wrong.

In the paper, they added a decay factor in the model ## Z ##, which I set to [itex ] 0 [/itex ].
Second, they also have different lengths for the real and imaginary parts of the signal. However, for me, they are collected at the same time. ## N_R = N_I = N_d ##, and ## t_i = t_j ##.

I choose the $H$ as the basis ## H = 2 \pi f t ## as they do in (23).

If I go by these assumptions, the following quantities become:

$$\theta = \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{0}{0}\right) = 0$$ From (20)
$$ C = N_d $$ from (17)
$$ S = N_d $$ from (18)

$$ R = \sum_{i = 1}^{N_d} d_R(t_i) \cos{(H(t_i))} - d_I(t_i) \sin{(H(t_i))} $$
$$ I = \sum_{i = 1}^{N_d} d_R(t_i) \sin{(H(t_i))} + d_I(t_i) \cos{(H(t_i))} $$

Here, ## d_R = \Re({z}) ##, and ## d_I = \Im({z}) ##. So, the final expression (22) becomes:

$$ \bar{h}^2 = \frac{1}{N_d} \times (R^2 + I^2) $$

I think this is the same as the Schuster periodogram. Am I correct? In that case, which periodogram should I use with lower side-lobe levels than the Schuster periodogram for the aperiodically sampled complex signal?

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
