 Signal Comparison: Correlation

• Why bother poor undergraduate students with correlation?

– Correlation is widely used in engineering.

• To design receivers in many communication systems
• To identify signals in radar systems
• For classifications.

 Signal representation by
orthogonal signal sets

• Examine a way of representing a signal as a sum of orthogonal

signals.

• We know that a vector can be represented as the sum of

orthogonal vectors.

• Review the case of vectors and extend to signals.
