Building Signals with Blocks Flashcards
Understand basis expansion and their role in signal processing
what are bases?
elementary signals
a complex signal gets ________ into elementary signals
decomposed
assuming bases are known, what is an equivalent description for the signal?
weights
what must be known for weights to be an equivalent description for the signal?
bases
what are the building blocks of signals?
bases
what do bases represent?
arbitrary signals as weighted products
how are bases scaled?
with different weights
bases must be _____ in order for them to be scaled with different weights
sufficiently different from each other
how are complex/arbitrary signals represented?
by weighted integrals/sums of bases signals
define integral (as defined by this video)
sum of large number of terms; limiting form
define integral (as defined by mathematics)
a function of which a given function is the derivative, i.e. which yields that function when differentiated, and which may express the area under the curve of a graph of the function.
define transform
conversion of signal amplitudes to weighted bases
what are some example transforms?
discrete, fourier, wavelet, and cosine transforms
any signal with N values can be represented by…
N linearly independent bases signals
is there an optimal bases technique?
No
what are some examples of bases techniques?
sinusoids, PCA, Haar, Morlet, Synlet, etc…
