Technology Showcase
Discreet Wavelength Transform


Although the Fourier transform has been the mainstay of transform-based digital signal processing since time immemorial, a more recent transformation, called the wavelet transform, is making strides in DSP applications following some of its unique advantages.

Wavelets have their energy concentrated in time. Sinusoids (Fourier Transform) are useful in analyzing periodic and time-invariant phenomena, while wavelets are well suited for the analysis of transient, time-varying signals. Since most of the real-life signals encountered are time varying in nature, the Wavelet Transform suits very well for many applications. - Read More..

Wireless Security with 802.11i
802.11i is a draft internet standard from the IEEE 802.11i committee that aims to solve the security flaws that haunt the 802.11a and 802.11b wireless networking standards. With wireless networks (such as 802.11b) becoming increasingly popular in residential and commercial environments, and with the WEP (Wireless Equivalence Privacy standard, the security standard of the current wireless networks) being exposed several times to flaws, the current wireless networks are vulnerable to hackers located within range. 802.11i addresses this problem by providing for better security with difficult to break encryption techniques and algorithms.- Read More..
