Hi Henry, Look up the Discrete Fourier Transform in its Matrix form: You take a vector of samples $x$ and multiply it with a matrix $W$ to get the discrete Fourier transform of $x$, which I shall denote $X$: $X=Wx$, with $W \in \mathbb N ^{N\times N}$ (i.e. a square matrix, representing the N-poi

So correlating is digitally mixing something with a predetermined sequence? I’ve been struggling to figure out what correlation means and this seems right. I guess, then, if you have a PSK waveform you might multiply it by something, starting at various offsets in the signal, to try and decode i

Yes, pretty much. With the DFT (and the continuous one) you are correlating the input waveform with harmonically related, complex sinusoids; essentially for each harmonic you mix it down to DC then sum (integrate). The FFT is different (I actually don't know how it works, other than it operates o

I’ve read up on the FFT and DSP and I must say I’m impressed that multiplying two waveforms is the digital equivalent of heterodyning. Am I right in my understanding that finding frequency components (FFT-ing) is simply multiplying a series of known sine waves by your input waveform? Sent
