hello si-list (communication engineers), I was wondering if someone knows a reference (article, paper, book, ...) where the power spectral density of a random digital signal with finite rise-fall time is described. It is easy to find information on ideal random digital signals. Here ideal means "with ideal steps" or unit-steps. The ideal case is easy to calculate using the Wiener-Khichine theorem which states that the autocorrrelation function and the power spectral density form a fourier transform pair. Ideal digital pulses have a triangular autocorrelation function, but I was wondering what it would be if the pulses have a finite rise-fall time. The autocorrelation function would be "triangular-like", but is it possible (1) to describe it analytically and, if so, (2) is it possible to calculate it's fourrier transform? thank you, Jan Vercammen EMC/PCB engineer Agfa-Gevaert NV, Belgium ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
