Amplitude magnitude frequency spectrum

Figure 2. Comparison of (A) lr Cd from freshly isolated chick cerebral hemispheres exposed to a weak radiofrequency field (147 MHz, 0.8 mW/cm2), amplitude-modulated at low frequencies, and (B) 45C2 efflux changes from exposure to far weaker electric fields (56 V/m) in the same frequency spectrum from 1 to 32 Hz. The peak magnitude of the efflux change is similar for the two fields, but opposite in direction. For the radiofrequency field (A), the unmodulated carrier wave U had no effect when compared with controls C. Field gradients differ by about six orders of magnitude between (A) and (B) (22, 23).

If the transmitter pulse itself is used for this adjustment, turn the amplitude way down (by several orders of magnitude) so the receiver chain will not be saturated. Monitor the pulse through at least one preamplifier stage so the monitoring process will not disturb the circuit. The pulses should also be extra long so that the frequency spectrum of the pulse is fairly narrow, i.e., there should be a long constant amplitude center section to the pulse compared to the rapidly changing end sections as shown in the sketch on p. 401. This is because most duplexers are tuned devices which work best at... 

Ideally, any procedure for signal enhancement should be preceded by a characterization of the noise and the deterministic part of the signal. Spectrum (a) in Fig. 40.18 is the power spectrum of white noise which contains all frequencies with approximately the same power. Examples of white noise are shot noise in photomultiplier tubes and thermal noise occurring in resistors. In spectrum (b), the power (and thus the magnitude of the Fourier coefficients) is inversely proportional to the frequency (amplitude 1/v). This type of noise is often called 1//... 

This spectrum reveals just two frequencies at v and 4v, and the relative magnitudes of the two frequency spikes are proportional to the amplitudes of the two sine waves composing the original signal. The two frequencies correspond to the two wavelengths in our interferometer light source, and the FFT has revealed the intensities of the source at those two wavelengths. 

Table 10.6 contains data of calculations of field magnitude A = l/ij,] by exact and asymptotic formulas 10.33 and 10.70, illustrating the area of application of eq. 10.70. It is natural to distinguish three ranges of frequency responses of the amplitude spectrum (Figs. 10.5-10.8) the range of small parameters, the intermediate zone and the wave zone.

Figure 10.26 Operation of simulated /ih/ vowel filter on square wave. Figure (b) shows the time domain output for the square wave input (a). While the shape of the output is different, it has exactly the same period as the input. Figure (d) is the magnitude spectrum of the square wave. Figure (e) is the magnitude spectrum of the output, calculated by DFT. The harmonics are at the same intervals as the input spectrum, but each has had its amplitude changed. Figure (e) demonstrates that the effect of the filter is to multiply the input spectrum by the frequency response, Figure (c).

Consider the magnitude spectrum of a periodic signal, such as that shown in Figure 12.11. As we have proved and seen in practice, this speclmm will contain harmonics at evenly spaced intervals. Because of the windowing effects, these harmonics will not be delta-function spikes, but will be somewhat more rounded . For most signals, the amplitude of the harmonics tails off quite quickly as frequency increases. We can reduce this effect by compressing the spectrum with respect to amplitude this can easily be achieved by calculating the log spectnun. It should be clear in the many examples of log spectra... 

Some of the manifestations of viscoelasticity are delayed relaxation of stress after cessation of flow phase shift between stress and strain rate in oscillatory shear flow shear thinning (decrease of viscosity) at shear rates exceeding the reciprocal of the longest relaxation time and normal stress differences in shear flow, whose magnitudes are related to the relaxation time spectrum. A very convenient observation for experimentalists is that there is a close similarity between the shear viscosity and first normal stress difference as functions of shear rate and the corresponding parameters, complex viscosity and storage modulus, as functions of frequency in a small amplitude oscillatory shear.
