Run your modified Homework 5 vi and zoom in in the time and frequency domain to examine the waveforms in detail. Describe in detail what you see. Measure the difference in time between both channels. Hint: Start and stop your Data Acquisition vi until the entire signal is in the middle of the buffer.

****Plot the Cross Correlation of the 2 channels and see if the peak is shifted from the middle, the number of samples you measured from the previous step.
 
***** Hints:
 
****** Functions -> Express -> Signal Analysis -> Conv & Corr -> Cross Correlation
 
****** This function requires that you extract the 2 channels from the DDT. To do this, use Functions -> Express -> Sig Manip -> From DDT -> Single Waveform -> Channel 0 and then again for Channel 1. Connect the outputs of these to the X and Y inputs.
 
****** Before you plot the Cross Correlation, extract the 1D array of scalars using the From DDT so that the X-Axis is in samples.
 
****** Look at the help on the Cross Correlation for details.
 
**** Plot the Spectrogram of Channel 0.
 
***** Hint: There is a good Spectrogram example that ships with LabVIEW. Go to Help -> Find Examples... and search for STFT -> STFT Spectrogram Demo.vi. You can copy from this example and paste it into your code.

***[[media:AssignmentForDSPLecture1.pdf|Homework 9]]
 
***Homework 10- Use the Signal Processing Palette in LabVIEW to generate 2 sinusoid waveforms (Signal Processing -> Waveform Generation -> Sine Waveform) with two different frequencies. Add these together and implement 2 separate filters for this signal (Functions -> Express -> Signal Analysis -> Filter) to extract the original sinusoids. Plot these outputs in the time domain. Also, plot them in the frequency domain (Express-> Signal Analysis -> Spectral). Make sure you can identify the frequencies corresponding to the input sinusoids in the frequency domain. Next, add (as in addition) Gaussian White Noise to the sum of the 2 sinusoids (Signal Processing -> Waveform Generation -> Gaussian White noise). Plot the spectrum  of the unfiltered signal and identify the frequencies corresponding to signal and noise again. Increase the standard deveiation of the WGN and modify your filter to improve the quality of the filtered signal. Also, looking at the sum of the 2 sinusoids and the noise, what is the relationship between the Standard Deviation of the WGN and the amplitude of the noise. Plotting the histogram of the noise (Express -> Signal Analysis -> Histogram) might help? Note: If your graph X-axis is in absolute time instead of seconds, right click on the graph and select Properties -> Display Format -> X-Axis and set it to SI units.

ESE297 - Introduction to Undergraduate Research was created for students who wish to do Undergraduate Research projects in Robotic Sensing under Professor Nehorai, the ESE Department Chair. This course is offered as ESE297 for 2 credits and is typically offered in the spring and summer. Students will learn how to implement sensor array signal processing algorithms on the LabVIEW for Robotics Starter Kit robots shown above using both Matlab and LabVIEW and develop Brain Computer Interface (BCI) algorithms using EEG signals. Students can then apply this knowledge to individual research projects in Robotic Sensing in subsequent semesters. ESE297 does not qualify as an EE elective.
