Application of Walsh Functions to Data Acquisition Systems

Abstract

The Walsh functions are considered with respect to the following system functions: 1. Concise signal representation. 2. Arithmetic operations. 3. Convolution and filtering. 4. Transfer function analysis. 5. Special measurements and functions: 5.1 Phase. 5.2 Digitally controlled function generator (DCFG). 5.3 Power density spectrum. 5.4 Correlation functions. The foregoing operations are required of equipment in the following areas of application: 1. Seismic data processing. 2. Hybrid data systems and simulation studies. 3. Special purpose Instrumentation.
