Experiment 02: Noise ECE363, Experiment 02, 2021 Communications Lab, University of Toronto Experiment 02: Noise Bruno Korst - [email protected] Abstract This experiment will introduce you to some of the characteristics of noise, as it is observed in communication systems. You will simulate the generation and manipulation of noise with the use of Simulink. In particular, you will explore different types of noise and their spectral characteristics.

If your system is designed to use a 200KHz band centered at some frequency to transmit music, whatever other signal present within this band that is not your music can be considered noise. Typically, noise can be seen as correlated or uncorrelated. The former means that the noise results from the signal itself (i.e., there is some relation between the two), whereas the latter will be present even when the signal is not. Noise can be generated externally to the system, for example by an electrostatic discharge in the atmosphere, or internally to the system, by among other things the random motion of electrons within a conductor. This latter example, named thermal noise has a flat spectrum across all frequencies. Such characteristic makes this type of noise to be referred to as white noise, as an analogy with white light that has all frequencies of the visible spectrum. It is relevant to look at noise from the statistical perspective, since modelling noise is crucial for the simulation and design of communication systems. Thermal noise, for instance, follows a Gaussian distribution and has a flat spectrum across all frequencies, making it white and Gaussian noise. If you submit a white Gausian noise source through a bandlimited linear system (say, a filter), the noise observed at the output of this filter will no longer be white (it is now bandlimited), but it still follows its Gaussian distribution. In addition, since we do have noise being added to the signal in any communication system, it becomes necessary to understand the concept of signal to noise ratio, or SNR for short. Experiment 02: Noise — 2/5 1. Suggested Reading You should prepare for this first experiment by reviewing probability and noise from the course notes or [1] and [2]. You must be familiar with time domain / frequency domain representation of signals. If you are not, you can review [3] or [4], for instance. For this practical session, you will be presented with very simple input-output block diagrams in Simulink and will be required to display the outputs of your simulation meaningfully using simulation scopes in both domains. Except for the last part of the experiment, which uses a DSP platform, all other parts will be done in simulation. The lab preparation is required and will be marked for this lab. You should have it ready prior to the beginning of the experiment. 2. Equipment and Software Tools The following list of equipment and software tools will be utilized in all experiments. Hardware: • One Signal Generator; • One Two-Channel Oscilloscope; • One TI LCDK DSP development platform attached to a PC workstation. • Coaxial cables BNC-to-BNC and a T connector. Software: • Matlab - Release 2016A; • Simulink with Communication Toolbox; • Code Composer Studio (CCS), v.6.0. 3. Experiment 3.1 Autocorrelation and Power Spectral Density It should be known to you now that the autocorrelation of a signal is the correlation of such signal with itself. When one performs a correlation between two signals, the intention is to find an estimate of how much of one signal is present on the other. In other words, how much similarity there is between the two signals as a function of the time between two observations. The resulting sequence from the autocorrelation calculation will According to the Wiener-Khintchine theorem, the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of an energy signal is the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of this signal. An energy signal is one for which the total energy measured in frequency is finite. This can be, for example, a truncated sinusoidal signal. Also, if the energy signal is real-valued, the PSD is symmetric. You will explore these characteristics with the models presented below. 3.1.1 Autocorrelation Build and run the system as shown in Figure1. (a) Unfiltered Gaussian Noise (b) Filtered Gaussian Noise Figure 1. Autocorrelation Experiment 02: Noise — 3/5 For all models in this experiment, you will use the sample time of 1/48000. This is to be compatible with future experiments using the DSP platform, where you will necessarily use 48KHz as your sampling frequency. The objective of this section is to compare the autocorrelation of unfiltered and filtered Gaussian noise. In particular, you should observe the effect of the bandwidth limitation on the output of the autocorrelation operation. It will likely make your life easier to have both systems (i.e., 1(a) and 1(b)) running to make a visual comparison. The Digital Filter Design block should be set to have order 100, and for this portion you will work with a lowpass filter only. This will accomplish a filter with very sharp cutoff, or small transition band. Your task will be to modify the cutoff frequency of the filter and observe the consequences. Do not forget to press the Design button on the GUI after you make the changes. After you make your system run, answer some questions on the answer sheet. 3.1.2 Power Spectral Density For this section, your task is to build the models shown in Figure2 below. The objective of this section is to observe the effects of filtering on the power spectral density (PSD) of the signal as well. We start by looking at the PSD display for white Gaussian noise. Build the models as shown below, and explore with the options for the frequency domain display, particularly for the subsystem you build for the model in Figure 2(b). (a) With Existing Analyzer (b) Build Your Own Analyzer Figure 2. Gaussian Noise Spectrum For Figure 2(b), your buffer should be 1024 samples long, and that should also be the length of your FFT. The Magnitude FFT block should be set also to magnitude squared, and the Vector Scope should be set to display frequency. After you do all this and run your models, answer some questions in the answer sheet. 3.2 Narrow Band Noise In order to probe narrow band noise, you will generate white noise and restrict its spectrum to a frequency interval, by adding a bandpass filter to the path. In order to do this, you will bring into the previous model the Digital Filter Design block, found under the DSP System Toolbox -- Filter Implementations. When you finish connecting this new block, double-click on it and select Bandpass, and use 100 as the order for the filter. Leave the other numbers as default for now. When you click on the Design button, you will see that this will give you a filter with very sharp edges. The model should look like the one found in Figure3. Run your model now and answer some questions in the answer sheet. Figure 3. Simulating Narrow Band Noise 3.3 Quantization Noise In systems that transform analog signals into digital signals, two operations are performed to accomplish this transformation. They are: sampling and quantization. Whereas the process of sampling must follow certain limits in terms of how often the signal is to be sampled to allow for its recovery, the quantization process is limited by the number of bits used to represent each sample. This is to say that there will be some degree of quantization noise – albeit very small – as a result of the finite number Experiment 02: Noise — 4/5 of bits used in the representation of the sample. For a CD quality audio system, for instance, 16 bits are typically used per sample, and samples are taken once every 44.1 thousands of a second. More on sampling and quantization later in the course. Below you will explore quantization noise and its spectrum. Build a model like the one on Figure4. Figure 4. Model for Quantization Noise The main blocks you will use are DSP Sine, Quantizer, Mux, Add, Scope and Power Spectral Density. The latter block is found in the Simulink Extras library, under Additional Sinks. The purpose for this exercise is for you to determine how noise – in this case quantization noise – is reduced for every extra bit used in the quantization process. Run your model now and answer some questions in the answer sheet. 3.4 Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) For this part you will build a slightly more complex model. This is because you will add white noise to a single tone and will measure SNR with the system running. Your system should look like the one provided in Figure5. The main components are a DSP Sine, representing the signal and the Gaussian Noise Generator representing the noise. You will add a Slider Gain to the signal, varying from 0 to 5. The SNR will be calculated in terms of the RMS values of both signal and noise. Therefore, you will need an RMS block found in the DSP System Toolbox, attached to a Display block.

Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! ) Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully. 1.1 Make sure you have the right tools: A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip. Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’ and will protect the tip, and enables you to make good connections. When solder rolls off the tip, it needs cleaning. Thin raisin-core solder. Do not use any flux or grease. A diagonal cutter to trim excess wires.

Kuijper (TNO Defence, Security and Safety) University of Twente Cluster: Human Media Interaction (HMI) Department of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) Abstract Currently, during the creation of a simulator that uses Virtual Reality, 3D content creation is by far the most time consuming step, of which a large part is done by hand. This is no different for the creation of virtual urban environments. In order to speed up this process, city generation systems are used. At re-lion, an overall design was specified in order to implement such a system, of which the first step is to automatically create realistic city boundaries. Within the scope of a research project for the University of Twente, an algorithm is proposed for this first step. This algorithm makes use of two-dimensional Perlin noise to fill a grid with random values. After applying a transformation function, to ensure a minimum amount of clustering, and a threshold mech- anism to the grid, the hull of the resulting shape is converted to a vector representation.

  • City of San Diego Noise Element
    Noise Element Noise Element Noise Element Purpose To protect people living and working in the City of San Diego from excessive noise. Introduction Noise at excessive levels can affect our environment and our quality of life. Noise is subjective since it is dependent on the listener’s reaction, the time of day, distance between source and receptor, and its tonal characteristics. At excessive levels, people typically perceive noise as being intrusive, annoying, and undesirable. The most prevalent noise sources in San Diego are from motor vehicle traffic on interstate freeways, state highways, and local major roads generally due to higher traffic volumes and speeds. Aircraft noise is also present in many areas of the City. Rail traffic and industrial and commercial activities contribute to the noise environment. The City is primarily a developed and urbanized city, and an elevated ambient noise level is a normal part of the urban environment. However, controlling noise at its source to acceptable levels can make a substantial improvement in the quality of life for people living and working in the City. When this is not feasible, the City applies additional measures to limit the effect of noise on future land uses, which include spatial separation, site planning, and building design techniques that address noise exposure and the insulation of buildings to reduce interior noise levels. The Noise Element provides goals and policies to guide compatible land uses and the incorporation of noise attenuation measures for new uses to protect people living and working in the City from an excessive noise environment. This purpose becomes more relevant as the City continues to grow with infill and mixed-use development consistent with the Land Use Element.

  • MT-004: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Aspects of ADC Input Noise-Is
    MT-004 TUTORIAL The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Aspects of ADC Input Noise—Is No Noise Good Noise? by Walt Kester INTRODUCTION All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount of "input-referred noise"— modeled as a noise source connected in series with the input of a noise-free ADC. Input-referred noise is not to be confused with quantization noise which only occurs when an ADC is processing an ac signal. In most cases, less input noise is better, however there are some instances where input noise can actually be helpful in achieving higher resolution. This probably doesn't make sense right now, so you will just have to read further into this tutorial to find out how SOME noise can be GOOD noise. INPUT-REFERRED NOISE (CODE TRANSITION NOISE) Practical ADCs deviate from ideal ADCs in many ways. Input-referred noise is certainly a departure from the ideal, and its effect on the overall ADC transfer function is shown in Figure 1. As the analog input voltage is increased, the "ideal" ADC (shown in Figure 1A) maintains a constant output code until the transition region is reached, at which point the output code instantly jumps to the next value and remains there until the next transition region is reached. A theoretically perfect ADC has zero "code transition" noise, and a transition region width equal to zero. A practical ADC has certain amount of code transition noise, and therefore a transition region width that depends on the amount of input-referred noise present (shown in Figure 1B).

However, such a technology may lead to deficient results if the original sequences have insufficient uniformity or omissions of random variables. This article offers a new approach for creating a phase signal generator with an improved matrix of autocorrelation coefficients. As a result, the generated signals of the white noise process have absolutely uniform intensities at the eigen Fourier frequencies. The simulation results confirm that the received signals have an adequate approximation of uniform white noise.

  • Reducing ADC Quantization Noise
    print | close Reducing ADC Quantization Noise Microwaves and RF Richard Lyons Randy Yates Fri, 2005­06­17 (All day) Two techniques, oversampling and dithering, have gained wide acceptance in improving the noise performance of commercial analog­to­digital converters. Analog­to­digital converters (ADCs) provide the vital transformation of analog signals into digital code in many systems. They perform amplitude quantization of an analog input signal into binary output words of finite length, normally in the range of 6 to 18 b, an inherently nonlinear process. This nonlinearity manifests itself as wideband noise in the ADC's binary output, called quantization noise, limiting an ADC's dynamic range. This article describes the two most popular methods for improving the quantization noise performance in practical ADC applications: oversampling and dithering. Related Finding Ways To Reduce Filter Size Matching An ADC To A Transformer Tunable Oscillators Aim At Reduced Phase Noise Large­Signal Approach Yields Low­Noise VHF/UHF Oscillators To understand quantization noise reduction methods, first recall that the signal­to­quantization­noise ratio, in dB, of an ideal N­bit ADC is SNRQ = 6.02N + 4.77 + 20log10 (LF) dB, where: LF = the loading factor measure of the ADC's input analog voltage level. (A derivation of SNRQ is provided in ref. 1.) Parameter LF is defined as the analog input root­mean­square (RMS) voltage divided by the ADC's peak input voltage. When an ADC's analog input is a sinusoid driven to the converter's full­scale voltage, LF = 0.707. In that case, the last term in the SNRQ equation becomes −3 dB and the ADC's maximum output­ signal­to­noise ratio is SNRQ­max = 6.02N + 4.77 −3 = 6.02N + 1.77 dB.
