Nyquist's Stability Criterion and Cauchy's Argument Principle

Background: Nyquist's Stability Criterion for linear-time-invariant systems makes use of Cauchy's argument principle to determine if any zeros in the characteristic equation are in the right-half plane (positive real roots), given a closed loop…

More Simultaneous Dynamic Range with Fixed Point or Floating Point?

What data path would have more simultaneous dynamic range: 32 bit fixed-point or 32 bit floating-point? Why? To clarify "simultaneous dynamic range": This is the ability to discern strong and weak signals at the same time, while dynamic range is…
