Lecture Notes

• Week 1: Acoustic Source Location Background and Theory
  • Additional references:
    • Joshua York, Acoustic Source Localization, ESE497, Fall 2008
    • Raphael Schwartz and Zachary Knudsen, Robotic Microphone Sensing: Data Processing Architectures for Real-Time, Acoustic Source Position Estimation, ESE497, Fall 2009
  • Task 1: Read the material that we discussed in our meeting today and the additional references listed above.
  • Task 2: Derive the expressions presented in slide 10.
• Week 2: Data Acquisition Basics
  • LabVIEW Tutorial
  • Data Acquisition Basics
  • Task 3 - Connect wires from A00 and AO1 to AI0 and AI1 (Disconnect the Function Generator output). Modify your vi to collect samples from both AI0 and AI1. Then run DelayedChirp2DAC.vi. Zoom in in the time and frequency domain to examine the waveforms in detail.
