A

Least Squares
Z Transform
Fourier Transform

38
Q

What is the fourier transform theory?

A

39
Q

Using the Fourier Transform a ____ domain signal is transformed to the _____ domain where it is equivalent to an Amplitude Spectrum and a Phase Spectrum.

A

Using the Fourier Transform a time domain signal is transformed to the frequency domain where it is equivalent to an Amplitude Spectrum and a Phase Spectrum.

Q

What is convolution?

A

mathematical way of combining two signals to achieve a third, modified signal.

41
Q

Convolution in the ____ domain is represented in the _____ domain by multiplying the amplitude spectra and adding the phase spectra.

A

Convolution in the time domain is represented in the frequency domain by a multiplying the amplitude spectra and adding the phase spectra.

42
