  1. Applications of Signals and Systems Fall 2002

  2. Application Areas • Control • Communications • Signal Processing

  3. Control Applications • Industrial control and automation (Control the velocity or position of an object) • Examples: Controlling the position of a valve or shaft of a motor • Important Tools: • Time-domain solution of differential equations • Transfer function (Laplace Transform) • Stability

  4. Communication Applications • Transmission of information (signal) over a channel • The channel may be free space, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable • A key component of transmission: Modulation (Analog and Digital Communication)

  5. Modulation • Analog Modulation: Transmitting audio signals. • Advantage: Higher frequency range good propagation

  6. Modulation • Frequency Modulation (FM), modulate the angle of the carrier. • Advantage: More robust to interference

  7. Digital Modulation • Used in CDs, digital cellular service, digital phone lines and computer modems. • Advantages: • Can be encrypted • Electronic routing of data is easier • Digital storage faster • Multimedia capability

  8. Signal Processing Applications • Signal processing=Application of algorithms to modify signals in a way to make them more useful. • Goals: • Efficient and reliable transmission, storage and display of information • Information extraction and enhancement • Examples: • Speech and audio processing • Multimedia processing (image and video) • Underwater acoustic • Biological signal analysis

  9. Multimedia Applications • Compression: Fast, efficient, reliable transmission and storage of data • Applied on audio, image and video data for transmission over the Internet, storage • Examples: CDs, DVDs, MP3, MPEG4, JPEG • Mathematical Tools: Fourier Transform, Quantization, Modulation

  10. JPEG Example 43K 13K 3.5K • JPEG uses Discrete-Cosine Transform (similar to Fourier Transform)

  11. Biological Signal Analysis • Examples: • Brain signals (EEG) • Cardiac signals (ECG) • Medical images (x-ray, PET, MRI) • Goals: • Detect abnormal activity (heart attack, seizure) • Help physicians with diagnosis • Tools: Filtering, Fourier Transform

  12. Example • Brain waves are usually contaminated by noise and hard to interpret

  13. Biometrics • Identifying a person using physiological characteristics • Examples: • Fingerprint Identification • Face Recognition • Voice Recognition

  14. Audio Signal Processing • Active noise cancellation:Adaptive filtering • Headphones used in cockpits • Digital Audio Effects • Add special music effects such as delay, echo, reverb • Audio signal separation • Separate speech from interference • Wind sound from music in cars

  15. Filtering Example
