Or is it just something you do because you don't feel like being active and so you don't infect others?

Hugh Lachlan Kennedy

OK, I think I have the answer to this one ...

No, if your temperature is not too high and all you do at work is sit at a computer.

Of course, if you hate your job and/or you get paid sick leave then why not stay in bed?

Are Bode and Nyquist diagrams useful tools for digital controller analysis and design?

I have been using both (Bode and Nyquist diagrams) to design simple digital feedback controllers for low-order SISO systems P(z), by analysing the loop transfer function L(z) = P(z)*C(z). But I am...

Why are equiripple (digital) filter designs generally preferred over error-minimized designs?

1) Does this have something to do with aesthetics? Because engineers like the relative uniformity of an equiripple response, as opposed to the more 'organic' response of other methods. 2) Is it...

Does anyone have experience using Least-Mean-Squares (LMS), or some other recursive technique, for the estimation of a sinusoid's parameters?

I would like to estimate the frequency of a discrete-time (real) sinusoidal tone - with unknown amplitude, frequency and phase - in noise An LMS-type technique looks promising, for...
