The Church of the Gesù in Rome: A Baroque Architectural Landmark

The Church of the Gesù, Rome: Architectural Landmark

Designed by Jacopo Vignola (who provided the treatise) and Giovanni Tristano (who directed the work), the Church of the Gesù in Rome features a facade by Giacomo della Porta. Construction began in 1568, following a project initiated between 1563 and 1568. The church was consecrated between 1584 and 1586, with the facade completed during this period. This church profoundly influenced many subsequent churches of its period and those of the Jesuit

Fundamentals of Television Signals

Differences: Interlaced vs Non-Interlaced Scan

Interlaced: The lines of the image are displayed on the screen by interleaving pairs on one side and odd on the other side.

Non-Interlaced: The lines are all displayed in order.

Differences Between Lines, Field, and Image

The image is divided into horizontal lines; each of these horizontal lines consists of points.

Why a Field Has 312.5 TV Lines

This is explained for several reasons. The first is that each field appears in the middle of the first line and

Audio System Components Explained

Sound Basics

Sound: the sensation produced in the ear by sound waves. The human ear distinguishes 3 qualities: loudness, pitch, and timbre.

Audio Sources

Audio sources generate sound signals. These include analog tuners (AM, FM) and digital tuners (DAB).

Source Features

  • Distortion: Harmonic distortion (THD) is the most important. It is measured in percentage (%). The lower the value, the better the sound quality.
  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Measured in dB. The higher this value, the less noise is introduced

Wireless Communication Techniques: OFDM, Diversity, and Propagation

Wireless Communication Techniques

1️⃣ Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

Definition:
OFDM is a multi-carrier modulation (MCM) technique where the total bandwidth is divided into multiple orthogonal subcarriers to reduce Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and enhance data transmission efficiency.

Block Diagram:

Transmitter:

Input Data → Serial-to-Parallel → Modulation (QAM/PSK) → IFFT → Cyclic Prefix Addition → Parallel-to-Serial → Transmission

Receiver:

Received Signal → Serial-
