Detailed Documentation

In this task, we will perform cyclic spectral correlation calculations on digital modulation signals and generate both 3D surface plots and 2D cross-sectional diagrams. Cyclic spectrum analysis serves as a powerful method for examining signal spectral characteristics by computing frequency-domain correlations to extract vital signal information. The implementation typically involves using algorithms like the FFT accumulation method (FAM) or the strip spectral correlation algorithm (SSCA) to compute the cyclic periodogram. Through 3D visualizations and 2D cross-sections, we can intuitively observe spectral distributions and correlation patterns. This approach helps us better understand the properties and performance of digital modulation schemes. Key MATLAB functions for implementation may include spectral correlation estimation functions and surface plotting commands like surf() and contour(). Let's begin the analysis!
