This document appears to be instructions for an electrical engineering experiment on modeling equations. The goal is to minimize noise using a phase shifter and two oscillators. Students are asked tutorial questions about null depth, why noise can't be nulled at the same time as the test signal, estimating harmonic distortion, how output minimum would change if frequency changed, and using a buffer amplifier instead of phase shifter. Results and conclusions sections are for students to describe what they observe during the experiment and interesting findings.

Tutorial Questions
Q1. Refer to the phasor diagram of Figure 3. If the amplitudes of the phasors V1 and V2
were within 1% of each other, and the angle alpha within 1% of 180 degrees, how
would you describe the depth of null? How would you describe the depth of null you
achieved in the experiment? You must be able to express the result numerically.
Q2. Why was not the noise nulled at the same time as the 1 kHz test signal?
Q3. Describe a method (based on this experiment) which could be used to estimate the
harmonic distortion in the output of an oscillator.
Q4. Suppose you have set up the system of Figure 2, and the output has been successfully
minimized. What might happen to this minimum if the frequency of the AUDIO
OSCILLATOR was changed (say by 10%)? Explain.
Q5. Figure 1 shows an INVERTING AMPLIFIER, but Figure 2 has a PHASE SHIFTER
in its place. Could you have used a BUFFER AMPLIFIER (which inverts the polarity)
instead of the PHASE SHIFTER? Explain.

C. Results

EXAMPLE:
T32 Original Speech Signal (top) and Noise Reduced Speech (bottom)

D. Conclusions
STATE WHAT YOU DID AND ANY INTERESTING THINGS TO NOTE

Example:
The experiment was very straightforward and provided a good introduction to the TIMS
modeling philosophy, and basic modules used in implementation. The experiment was a
good model for comparing an error-free mathematical concept to a real implementation
with inexactness due to system noise.
