Abstract

The power cepstrum (power spectrum of the log of the power spectrum) of a signal in a multipath environment provides information on echo amplitudes and delay times. An electrooptical power cepstrum analyzer, which displays this information in real time, is described. The basic system approach is to use optics to provide the power spectrums and electronics to provide the logarithm function. The design and experimental results of a working system are presented.
