It'll quickly become apparent that he has no understanding whatsoever of the subject and you'll save yourself from wasting any time talking to him about it. Interestingly, the true experts of comp.dsp refer to Gareth Alun Evans G4SDW as "that idiot from uk.radio.amateur". LOL! I see this is cross posted to comp.dsp. I don't feel like researching the "Big K" theory, but I would be interested in hearing a bit if anyone cares to share the humor. -- Rick |

Perhaps it is cynicism from the manufacturers who introduce such things as they see their traditional highly-priced corner of the market being wiped away by SDR technologies? Bandwidth reduction for one. If you can encode and compress speech sufficiently then you can use less bandwidth in transmission. That's the bit I have trouble getting my head around. Back in the 1970s and 1980s digital transmissions used a much greater bandwidth than their analogue equivalents. Sampling at 2.2 x max frequency x number of bits plus housekeeping bits etc. etc. A UK standard 625 line PAL video transmission would have used a bandwidth of over 400MHz! Times have changed and left me behind, but I've still got me beer so who cares? But you forget compression. For instance, unless there is a scene change, the vast majority of a television picture does not change from frame to frame. Even if the camera moves, the picture shifts but doesn't change all that much. Why waste all of that bandwidth resending information the receiver already has? And voice isn't continuous; it has lots of pauses. Some are very noticeable, while others are so short we don't consciously hear them, but they are there. And once you've compressed everything you can out of the original signal, you can do bit compression, similar to zipping a file for sending. There are lots of ways to compress a signal before sending it digitally. About the only one which can't be compressed is pure white noise - which, of course, is only a concept (nothing is "pure"). I think that depends on what you mean by "pure". Sounds very non-technical to me. Even noise can be compressed since if it is truly noise, you don't need to send the data, just send the one bit that says there is no signal, just noise. lol Pure white noise is a random distribution of signal across the entire spectrum, with an equal distribution of frequencies over time. Like a pure resistor or capacitor, it doesn't exist. But the noise IS the signal. To recreate the noise, you have to sample the signal and transmit it. However, since it is completely random, by definition no compression is possible. To be more accurate, it has an infinite bandwidth and constant power density/Hz. As you say, it doesn't really exist. In practice, lab noise sources are specified over a bandwidth and to be within a given limit of power variation across that. Darn useful devices to have around. So if I have a string of random numbers they can not represent a white noise source of infinite bandwidth and constant power density? Not perfectly. The string would need to be infinitely long and truly random. That is why the term Pseudo Random is generally used for strings used in such applications. Pseudo random applies to finite length sequences. There is nothing to say the string of numbers doesn't extend to infinity. You are confusing the existence of such a string with a representation. The digits of transcendental numbers such as e and pi are expected to be "normal" which is in essence the same as random. So to say that "it doesn't really exist" is not demonstrated in reality much less in theory. I can compress the infinite bit sequence of pi quite easily just by saying... "pi". -- Rick |

You continue to make a fool of yourself by posting nothing but infantile abuse and all your posts lack any evidence of comprehension of technical matters. And your malicious cross-post to comp. dsp is not lost on me; more evidence of your infantile need to draw attention to yourself by stirring things up. By referring to, "Big K", you refer to the anomalies of 10 years and more ago to which I alluded and which were resolved 9 years ago, so what point are you making, exactly? As I said, as I had some difficulties which were resolved, that places me in a good position to assist others who may also have such difficulties. |

Thereafter, he refused to be drawn further on "Big K", saying that he had settled the matter "to [his] satisfaction". There's little to be gained from reading Gareth's "Big K" theory, as it's arm-waving nonsense of the highest order. I did challenge him last year to produce a fully referenced paper on the subject that I could review and assess, but he point-blank refused, of course. -- STC // M0TEY // twitter.com/ukradioamateur |

Once again, your posts are a vehicle for infantile abuse, for, if you had the slightest comprehension of the matters about which you sneer, then you would have at least some credibility, but you merely add weight to the adage that empty vessels make the most noise. For example, in the above, you make no discussion of the technical matters involved and try to mask your ignorance by tirades of abuse. You also lie, for I made no such point-blank refusal., and your continual whingeing on about a peer-reviewed paper was your device for masking your ignorance, for when I enquired of you which bits of my theory that you found fault with, you shuddered to a hallt with your tail between your legs shouting out childish remarks as you ran (pretty much as you do above) Now, Stevie, baby, now that you have widened the circulation to comp.dsp, why not phrase the exact technical issue with which you found difficulty? Perhaps you could start off by explaining the correction to which you allude at the beginning of your rant, above, just to show that you have the merest inkling of the matter, to sace face? |
