MUSIC outperforms simple methods such as picking peaks of DFT spectra in the presence of noise, when the number of components is known in advance, because it exploits knowledge of this number to ignore the noise in its final report.
This is done by the receiver generating a replica signal of the 1,023-bit C/A (Coarse/Acquisition) code, and generating lines of code chips [-1,1] in packets of ten at a time, or 10,230 chips (1,023 × 10), shifting slightly as it goes along in order to accommodate for the doppler shift in the incoming satellite signal, until the receiver ...
White noise: The partial autocorrelation is 0 for all lags. Autoregressive model: The partial autocorrelation for an AR(p) model is nonzero for lags less than or equal to p and 0 for lags greater than p. Moving-average model: If , >, the partial autocorrelation oscillates to 0.
In stochastic processes, chaos theory and time series analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a method for determining the statistical self-affinity of a signal. It is useful for analysing time series that appear to be long-memory processes (diverging correlation time, e.g. power-law decaying autocorrelation function) or 1/f noise.
White noise draws its name from white light, [2] although light that appears white generally does not have a flat power spectral density over the visible band. An image of salt-and-pepper noise In discrete time , white noise is a discrete signal whose samples are regarded as a sequence of serially uncorrelated random variables with zero mean ...
Decorrelation is a general term for any process that is used to reduce autocorrelation within a signal, or cross-correlation within a set of signals, while preserving other aspects of the signal. [ citation needed ] A frequently used method of decorrelation is the use of a matched linear filter to reduce the autocorrelation of a signal as far ...
The transformation is called "whitening" because it changes the input vector into a white noise vector. Several other transformations are closely related to whitening: the decorrelation transform removes only the correlations but leaves variances intact, the standardization transform sets variances to 1 but leaves correlations intact,
Calibration Factor-- the factor to convert real-time to pulse delay time when viewing the output of the autocorrelator.One example of this would be 30 ps/ms in the Coherent Model FR-103 scanning autocorrelator, which suggests that a 30 ps pulse autocorrelation width would produce a 1 ms FWHM trace when viewed on an oscilloscope.
