Signal processing Definition and 123 Threads

Hi all, I'm considering doing a masters in either signal processing or machine learning. I have a bachelor's in electrical and electronic engineering, and have a bit of experience (internships mostly) in both industry and research. I was wondering if there are a lot of career opportunities...

Homework Statement hello! i'm given a signal h(t) = v(t)*g(t) where g(t) is a distortion/noise that got added and has a very low frequency compared to v(t) i need to devise a method to clean up g(t) The Attempt at a Solution i'm thinking of to do the fft on the signal h(t)...

hello! i'm given a signal h(t) = v(t)*g(t) where g(t) is a distortion/noise that got added and has a very low frequency compared to v(t) i need to devise a method to clean up g(t) i'm thinking of to do the fft on the signal h(t), and remove the lower frequencies and do the inverse...

Hi all, I'm having some trouble understanding the consequences of directly changing the frequencies in the spectrum of an audio signal. Let me give you an example: Let's say I have some audio signal, which I convert to a spectrum (in LabView, using a direct cosine transform (to avoid...

Career in DSP! I am doing b.e electrical and electronics from bits-pilani , india. I have just completed my second year. I had a course on signal and systems(fourier, laplace, sampling etc.) in my fourth semester.It has aroused my interest in dsp field. Can anyone here guide me on how to...

Is parameter estimation in DSP concerned with things such as bit error rates, maximum likelihood detection etc ... ? If not, can someone point me in the right direction so I can find some learning material. thanks

Homework Statement Signal x(n)= (1/sqrt(n)) * u(n) 1.Find the energy of the signal. 2.Is the energy finite or infinite? Homework Equations sum|x(n)|^2 = energy The Attempt at a Solution

One subject that I've always been interested in, but have never found the proper introduction to is signal processing. I thought PF might be an appropriate place to ask (tough, I'm not even sure which forum it would be most appropriate, but since I'm stronger in math than physics, I'm posting...

Graduate School -- DSP, Signal Processing What are the top graduate schools for signal processing? I am currently looking at Georgia Tech. Any other recommendations? I would like (if possible) courses in radar.

Hello all. how to find relative phases, strengths of a signal by using Matlab.

Hello all. I am working on a problem for class that is taking some time data and changing it to frequency data. I am using excel and the fast Fourier transform(fft). I am having a problem graphing the results. I am very new to signal processing. I am only given the data which is 1024...

Hello All, I am currently taking Signal Processing & Linear Systems. I've come across my last problem for homework but can't find a way to do it. If someone can show me in the right direction it will be very helpful. Thanks The Problem: The voltage f(t) = 2u(t) is applied to the circuit...

I have three courses that I can choose from: Electromagnetics or Digital Signal Processing II or Semiconductor Physics and Theory for my spring? Which do you suggest?

Hi, I am pretty new to Matlab and am trying to reduce the noise of a particular signal. I found this pdf online and found it to be helpful. However, I am having trouble figuring out what the freq=(0:79)/(2*n*dt) means. More specifically the 0:79 bit. Any help would be much appreciated...

Is it possible to perform some form of data correction by finding the variance/std dev and covariance? I have a bunch data all related to a specific observation. For test purposes, i have 1000 samples of each data for certain condition. I can find the covariance between each data under this...

I am currently working on a project to build a barcode scanner. I have built the apparatus to detect a signal and am able to view this signal on an oscilloscope, however I am wondering if it is possible to build a circuit to output this signal as a binary code on a series of LED's (or something...

Homework Statement Is the system y[n] = x[n] - x[n-1] time invariant? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I say no, but there's one thing I don't understand. I think if you shifted the input, and then ran those samples through the system, you'd get x[n-n0] - x[n-1]...

Hi,I am a graduate student, want to transfer from physics to electrical engineering to study communication and digital signal processing , till now I don't know so much about that. Next semester, I will be a Teaching Assistant in Electrical engineering for the first year.each semester I must...

Hey guys, I am using the sptool GUI to design and apply filters to noisy ECG signals. I understand the concepts behind lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters. But I'm confused with the parameters of FDA tool. Here are my questions: 1) In the FDA tool, there is a bandstop filter. what is...

hello everyone, what stuff can i tackle on my own to learn dsp? complex variables and Fourier transforms to begin with - but what else? how do other aspects of EE play into dsp? how do i get functionality fastest!?

I am interested in DSP, for the coming semester, I can only take one signal processing class, and I have two choices that I am not exactly sure what they really are: 1) Statistical Signal Processing: Detection theory and hypothesis testing. Introduction to estimation theory. Properties of...

Hi. I have a data gaussian g(t) and data that I suspect is a convolution (g*f). I want to find f(t), so I need to deconvolute (using Origin preferably). If I convolute g*g, I get something very beautiful. If I convolute (g*f)*(g*f), I get something very beautiful. If I deconvolute...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with signal processing. I am working with musical instrument recognition and would like some help. What is the main difference between musical instrument signals? Where can I get some resources on signal processing(I am using Matlab, but...
