THE ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN TIME-VARYING SIGNALS.

Abstract

In this report, two methods of analyzing signals, using digital techniques, are described. The first involves the computation of the autocorrelation (autocovariance) function and the estimation of the power spectrum from the autocorrelation function by Fourier transformation. The second is concerned with the estimation of over-all received signal power within pre-established frequency limits. The first is applied to the analysis of the data collected during one experiment in the FIREFLY program, the second to the data collected during one mission in the ORLANDO series. (Aurhor)
