Power (dBm) of a non return to zero modulated signal
How to calculate the power (dBm) of this signal which is fed into a receiver with an input impedance of 50 ohms?
The power in dBm formula is 10log(Vrms^2/R)/1mW and R equals 50 ohms. In this case how ...

When multiple cognitive radios transmit simultaneously
Cognitive radio nodes sense the spectrum and start their transmission opportunistically when the spectrum is found to be vacant. The question arises what if two or more nodes find the spectrum to be ...

Windowing FFT: spectral leakage vs ENOB
I am using Cadence to perform full speed testing of a 4-bit SAR ADC using the FFT and non-coherent sampling.
I've obtained the ENOB and the spectra of the output signal using first the rectangular ...

Does ITU govern both spectrum, and applied power?
I'm really not sure whether EE Stackexchange is the right place to ask. At the same time I'm sure it is the right place to expect a coherent reply.
I am aware of the various bands (C, S, K, X...) that ...

Spectrum of FM signal?
If a carrier (\$f_c\$) is FM modulated by a single sine wave (\$f_m\$), its spectrum is composed of frequencies at \$f_c + kf_m\$ (\$k \in \mathbb{Z}\$) whose amplitudes are weighted by \$J_n(\beta)\$,...

Why averaging in Spectral magnitude domain not in complex domain to estimate spectrum of a process
Consider we need the magnitude spectrum of the signal. Signal is recorded in \$N\$ trials to a certain stimuli. Signal varies from each trial because of noise. So, to estimate the actual magnitude ...
