Laboratory Session No. 01

Objective:

To get introduced with fundamentals of Digital Signal Processing

Post Lab Exercises:

Question 1:

What do you mean by the term digital. Explain it briefly.

Answer:

The term Digital describes electronic technology that generates, stores, and processes data
in form of two states: positive (High, 1) and non-positive (Low, 0). The data that is
transmitted and stored through digital technology is present in form of strings of 0’s and
1’s. Also the term digital refers to Descrete values.
Question 2:

Write some (at least three) applications of DSP related to electrical (power) engineering.

Answer:

The Applications of Digital Signal Processing related to Electrical Engineering include:

1. Digital Filters.
As the name suggest it blocks the unrequired signals.
2. Digital Measuring Instruments.
These Instruments detects the input as analog signal then convert it to a digital
signal and measures the parameters. For example Voltmeter.
3. Differentiate between signals.
It helps in differentiating the signals on the basis of their harmonics to solve
different problems because from two signals of same nature one can be useful while
the other can cause damage. Such as the difference between inrush current and
short current in case of transformer.

Laboratory Session No. 02

Objective:
An Introduction to Analog to Digital Conversion (Sampling and Aliasing).
Post Lab Exercises:
Question 1:
What do you mean by the term “Sampling”? Discuss it briefly with the help of figure.
Answer:
Sampling is one of the step involved in conversion of analog signal to a digital signal.
Analog signal has continuous time which is discretized through sampling. After this step a
CTCV ( Continuous Time Continuous Value ) signal is converted to a DTCV ( Discrete
Time Continuous Value ) signal. Sampling has a certain frequency which we set according
to the sampling theorem.

Question 2:
What is Sampling theorem? What do you mean by the term Aliasing?
Answer:
 Contents
NED University of Engineering and Technology Department of Electrical Engineering

The Sampling theorem ( Nyquist Criteria ) says that when converting analog signal to
digital signal the sampling frequency must be greater than or equal to the twice of
maximum frequency that the analog signal has. If this criteria is not fulfilled then when
the signal is again converted to analog form it's frequency would be changed from the
original value. This process causing change in frequency is called Aliasing. It follows the
formula :
F alias = F max - nF sampling

Question 3:
Human audible frequency ranges from _20_ to _20000_Hz. Human voice frequency ranges
from_300_ to _3000_ Hz.

Question 4:
Record audio for 10sec and complete the following table. Show and verify the output file
size through mathematical calculations.
(Hint: Check the Microphone ADC bits and use sampling frequency and the audio record
time to evaluate the file size)
Answer:

S No Sampling File Size Quality

1 44100 1.764 Excellent
2 22050 0.882 Excellent
3 10000 0.400 Excellent
4 6000 0.240 Good
5 4000 0.160 Good
6 2000 0.080 Poor
7 1000 0.040 Poor

(Sample Rate x Sample Resolution x Time x channel / 8 ) bytes

1. 44100 x 16 x 10 / 8 = 1762000 bytes
2. 22050 x 16 x 10 / 8 = 882000 bytes
3. 10000 x 16 x 10 / 8 = 400000 bytes
4. 6000 x 16 x 10 / 8 = 240000 bytes

Question 5:

If an ADC has sampling frequency =1000 Hz and receive analog signals of the following
frequencies what will be the frequency of a signal which is converted back to analog by a
DAC converter?
Answer:

S No Frequency (Hz) Frequency of

output Analog
signal (Hz)
1 100 100
2 750 -250
3 1250 250
4 1900 -100
5 2000 0
6 2500 500

F alias = F max - nF sampling

1. 100 Hz (100<1000/2)
2. F alias = 750 - 1000 = -250 Hz
3. F alias = 1250 - 1000 = 250 Hz
4. F alias = 1900 - (2)1000 = -100 Hz
5. F alias = 2000 - (2)1000 = 0 Hz
6. F alias = 2500 - (2)1000 = 500 Hz

Laboratory Session No. 03

Objective:
An Introduction to Analog to Digital Conversion (Quantization and
Coding).

Post Lab Exercises:

Question 1:
Why Quantization is needed in Digital Signal Processing?

Answer:

In digital signal processing Quantization is needed to make the number of samples

limited. If the signal is continuous valued the precision of that value of sample would be
very high and it can have infinite number is samples that would need more memory but due
to Quantization there would be specific values of specific precision which will need less
memory as compare to continuous valued function.
Question 2:
What is Anti-Aliasing Filter? Discuss it with some example.
Answer:
An Anti-Aliasing filter is the one which stops waves which are out of its range or it does
not allow them to pass while in Aliasing the wave with frequency greater then fmax would
pass but would be displayed as a wave of changed frequency. The Anti-Aliasing filter is a
low pass filter which cutoff the wave which out of its range .For example in analog
systems high pass and low pass filters are formed using capacitors in them the circuit does
not allows the waves of low and high frequency to pass respectively.
Question 3:
Discuss the specifications of Arduino Uno ADC like number of bits, number of
quantization levels, etc. Also, calculate the default Arduino Uno ADC resolution. Link:
https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-uno-rev3

Answer:
Arduino Uno board has 6 ADC channels. The ADC aur Arduino is of 10 bits and has 1024
quantization levels. The Arduino Uno ADC is of 10-bits resolution (analog values of range
0 - 1023) , it can represent voltages of 0 - 5V range.

Question 4:
A 12-bit ADC has input values in the range of 0 – 1 V. Calculate the resolution of ADC.
Answer:

NED University of Engineering and Technology Department of Electrical Engineering

No. of levels = 2^(no. of bits)

= 2^¹²
= 4096 levels

Resolution = (Xmax - Xmin) / levels-1

= (1 - 0) / (4096-1)
= 0.244m

VR1 = 13.7 * 100k / (100k+180)

VR1 = 13.675V

VR1 = Vin - VR1

= 13.7 - 13.675

VR1 = 24.616mV

VR2 = Vin * R2 / (R1+R2)

24.616m = 13.7 * R2 / (R1+R2)

R2 = 180 ohm

I=V/R

= 13.7 / (100k+180)

= 13.6mA

P(total) = IV

=13.6m*13.7

= 0.186 W

PR2 = R2*I^²

= 180*13.6m^2

=33.3mW
