Estimating effect of filter on headroom

I am working with beamforming algorithms for speaker arrays. One of the problems we face is that we need to estimate the maximum amplitude of our test signals after we applied FIR/IIR filters to them. I am looking for ways to express the reduction…

Radar Pulse Compression Gain (PCR)

Assume a monostatic radar is transmitting a pulsed waveform. The pulse has been modulated by a Barker code with$\ N$ chips or bits. The waveform chip rate is $\tau_c $, the radar receiver's detection bandwidth is $\beta_c = 1/\tau_c$, and the…

How to implement Auto Gain Control (AGC) before and after mixng realtime audio for a conference?

I mix audio(16bit,16khz, little-endian, mono,frame-duration:60ms) packets after dividing the short values by participant count so it never gets clipped. but before that, I need to apply a certain gain to all incoming voices so that they stay at the…

processing gain in the receiver

I am always confused about the processing gain in the receiver. Assume my receiver had the following: $$\boxed{\text{LNA}}{\longrightarrow}\boxed{\text{Mixer}}{\longrightarrow}\boxed{\text{Filter}}{\longrightarrow}\boxed{\text{ADC}}$$ Does the…

Recursive filter gain

I implemented a filter similar to the one below, within a FPGA. Two substractors and an accumulator. The recursive equation is given by: My inputs are exponentially decaying pulses of the form sampled every n I want to express y[n] as a function…

How to apply the gain factor G to SOS coefficients when designing a IIR filter on sptool (MATLAB)?

After designing an IIR filter on sptool, I export the coefficients (SOS) and gain (G) into a .mat file. When filtering, we can use sosfilt(SOS, x), which results in the correct output but with the wrong scaling. I guess this is what the gain…

Frequency gain enhancement on Android

I am a social worker trying to fund some student programmers to build a software to help senior citizens listen to audio on their phones better. The basic idea is as simple as applying selective gains in select frequency bands. I want to know the…

Signal analysis using a buffer

I am performing an analysis of an output signal in the interval $t<0$ from the operational amplifier given in the following image where $v_{C_1}(0^-)$ and $v_{C_2}(0^-)$ are the initial conditions to be computed of two capacitors. As you can see,…

Output eqaution of a repeater?

Assume we have a signal repeater, a simple repeater that amplifies the signal then transmits it as is. Does the output power of the repeater is dependent on the received signal at the repeater ? for example: Case-1: A repeater received power of…
