"A Signal Processing Love Letter
I want a sampling interval that will be enough just for you.
I want a new sampling theorem that will sample only you without losses and aliases all the others.
I want a quantizer that will quantize only you without any losses.
I want you to be a single tone signal so that I can filter out all the others and keep you.
I want a non-linear filter that will select you and reject the others.
I want you to be the pitch of my voice so that each time I speak people will recognize you.
I want you to be pixels in my eyes so that each time someone looks me in the eye will see you.
I want to discover a new FFT that will transform any image into yours.
I want a new JPEG technique that will compress only you without losses.
I want a special decoder that will produce you out of any coded signal.
I want you to be my cepstrum.
I want a fast processor that can decode you in zero time.
I want you to keep me in your ROM memory.
I want a data bus that will only transfer your bits."
