Ee473 2019 HW2

1) The homework is due on October 31 and covers material from Chapters 2-4 of the textbook. Students should keep up with the readings. 2) Students are asked to plot sine waves with different frequencies using Matlab and comment on the properties of continuous and discrete time sine waves. 3) Students are given a speech file with an echo and asked to model the echo as a delayed and attenuated version of the original signal. They must derive impulse responses, generate the echo and echo removal systems in Matlab, and analyze the cascaded system.

EE 473 HW 2 (Fall 2019)

• Homework is due October 31, Thursday!

1: Reading. So far we have covered Chapters 2 and 3, and we are about to complete Chapter 4 in Oppenheim and
Schafer, 2e. We will proceed fast with new material from now on. Please make sure that you keep up with the
class by reading the related sections.

2: Sine Wave and Matlab.


a) Use Matlab to plot the continuous-time signal x(t) = cos(Ωt) for Ω = 0, π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π.
b) Use Matlab to plot the discrete-time signal x[n] = cos(ωn) for ω = 0, π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π. (Sketch these signals
as a sequence of vertical lines.)
c) Comment on the signals obtained in (a) and (b) in terms of basic properties like time-frequency relationship,
periodicity, etc. Are they alike?

3: Echo Cancellation. In this problem, you will need to load the speech file lineup.mat from the site
https://github.com/sharrajesh/signals-and-systems/tree/master/buck
You will work with the data stored in y. The speech was recorded with a sampling rate of 8192 Hz. You should
hear the phrase “line up” with an echo. In fact, we should be able to model this signal (let’s call it y[n]) as

y[n] = x[n] + αx[n − N ] (1)

where x[n] is the uncorrupted speech signal, which has been delayed by N samples and superimposed back on
itself with its amplitude scaled by α < 1. Thus, the first term on the right-hand side of eq. (1) is the line-of-sight
signal captured directly by the microphone whereas the second one is an echo reflected off a wall. The echo travels
a longer path before it reaches the microphone, hence the delay N . Moreover, some of its energy is absorbed by
the wall, and hence the attenuation, α. For simplicity, we ignore further reflections, as well as other echo sources.
(a) Derive the impulse response of the echo system described by eq. (1).
(b) Let N = 1000 and α = 0.5. Using Matlab, generate and plot the impulse response that corresponds to eq. (1)
in the range n = 0, . . . , 1000.
(c) Consider the echo removal system described by the difference equation

z[n] + αz[n − N ] = y[n], (2)

where now y[n] is the input and z[n] is the output which has the echo removed. Does the system in eq. (2) have
an infinite-length or a finite-length impulse response?
(d) Show that eq. (2) is indeed the inverse of eq. (1) by deriving the overall difference equation that relates z[n] to
x[n]. Is z[n] = x[n] a valid solution to the overall difference equation?
(e) Implement the echo removal system of eq. (2) on Matlab. Plot the output in response to the speech in
lineup.mat. When you listen to the output, do you still hear the echo, or is it gone?
(f) In Matlab, find and plot the overall impulse response of the cascaded echo system by convolving the two impulse
responses. Is the result a unit impulse? If not, why not?
