The Hilbert transform is a linear operation used in telecommunications engineering to obtain spectrally efficient signals. It translates signals into a phase shift of -90º at positive frequencies and +90º at negative frequencies. In the frequency domain, the Hilbert transform results in a phase shift of 90°. The Hilbert transform can be applied to baseband […]
