TweetHey! This article has a simple purpose, to teach you basic functionality and terminology related to modern UMTS-CDMA digital coding techniques. One swift read of this information-packed kick in the face will leave you trembling at the knees with curiosity for more. Well, maybe not. But the first step in the UMTS-CDMA system applies error [...]

TweetThere are several different types of 3G wireless technologies that are defined and planned to be up and working today. There are also several that are on their way. These are successors of course, to the previous 2G technologies that dominated the airwaves. CDMA2000 CDMA2000 is the successor to IS-95 systems. CDMA2000 provides a definition [...]

TweetMagic is real, and it all comes from the Fourier Integral. But one doesn’t become a wizard without a little reading first – so, the purpose of this article is to explain the Fourier Integral theoretically and mathematically. Before reading any further, it is important to first understand this: in mathematics, there is a rule [...]

TweetIntroduction to the convolution Amongst the concepts that cause the most confusion to electrical engineering students, the Convolution Integral stands as a repeat offender. As such, the point of this article is to explain what a convolution integral is, why engineers need it, and the math behind it. In essence, the “convolution” of two functions [...]
