Abstract

In this paper a real-time method for generating signals of constrained amplitude and a given (arbitrary) spectrum is presented. This technique is based on the concatenation of sinusoidal signals of suitably chosen frequencies in order to obtain a signal with the desired sample autocovariance sequence as the number of samples tends to infinity. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated theoretically and via simulations.
