This module describes the implementation af a Signal to Noise Measurement tool using the DSK6713. A Simulink simulation model is created, and used afterwards to generate real-time DSP code.

Introduction

The signal-to-noise ratio of an audio signal gives a measurement of the quality of that signal. Signal-to-Noise ratio can be measured in real-time using statistics.

This laboratory shows how to evaluate a model of Signal-to-Noise Ratio measurement using Simulink® and run it on a Texas Instruments C6000 DSP.

Objectives

  • Run the Simulink model of signal-to-noise ratio measurement on a PC, to determine the optimum parameter settings.
  • Modify the Simulink model for real-time measurement of signal-to-noise ratio using the Texas Instruments C6713 DSK.
  • Run the project on the Texas Instruments C6713 DSK with a microphone and computer loudspeakers / headphones.

Level

Intermediate - Assumes prior knowledge of MATLAB® and Simulink. It also requires some understanding of statistics and some knowledge of Texas Instruments DSPs.

Hardware and software requirements

This laboratory was originally developed using the following hardware and software:

  • MATLAB R2006b with Embedded Target for TI C6000.
  • Code Composer Studio (CCS) v3.1
  • Texas Instruments C6713 DSK hardware.
  • Microphone and computer loudspeakers / headphones.

Procedure

Opening the signaltonoise model

Start MATLAB 7.3.0 R2006b then open the SignalToNoise.mdl

Opening SignalToNoise Model

Viewing the signaltonoise parent

The SignalToNoise parent is now displayed. Double-click on the Algorithm box.

Algorithm for signal-to-noise ratio measurement

The Signal-to-Noise Ratio algorithm is now displayed. Run the model.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Algorithm

Output of the model

Run the model.

Algorithm Output

It will be seen that the output of the algorithm (“Unfiltered S/N”) varies from frame to frame. The next step is to fine-tune the algorithm parameters.

Tuning the simulink model

The model is run several times to determine the best values of the parameters:

  • To evaluate the algorithm accuracy for different frequencies
  • To determine the optimal frame length
  • To set the optimum delay time
  • To evaluate the effect of sampling frequency
  • To obtain a consistent algorithm output.

Evaluating the algorithm accuracy for different frequencies

Change the sine wave frequency from 500 Hz (default) to 1000 Hz then run the model several times. Make a note of the four different meter outputs (S/N Ratio from RMS Signals, Unfiltered S/N, Filtered S/N and Buffered).

Changing the Sine Wave Frequency

Repeat using 1500Hz and 2000Hz.

Question: Does the input frequency of the Sine Wave have an effect on the accuracy of the algorithm? If it does, then it would be useful to put a digital filter at the input to the algorithm to limit the frequency band.

Sine wave 300 hz

Change the Sine Wave Frequency to 300Hz then run the model.

why is communication effective
Dakolo Reply
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
