Lecture 1 Flashcards
What is quantised boxcar
quantised but not sampled continous
What is sampled data
sampled but not quantised
What is the 3rd step of A2D conversion after sampling and quantising?
Coding- putting into binary
Formula for quantisation width
(xmax - xmin)/(no. levels -1)
For Ensemble recording what is the best amount of recordings needed?
many
What is Ensemble recording
At each point work out the average from many trials
Why is Median recording better than Ensemble recording?
It can deal with a smaller amount of samples as high noise samples wont throw it off
How many trials do you need for moving average filtering
only one
What is moving averaging filtering?
find average of points near eachother
What do you need to be careful with with moving average filtering?
length will change so need to pad with zeros at end
What kind of filter does moving average act like?
low pass
In a moving average filter what is the comprise between order and distortion?
As order increases passband gets smaller (removes more of the noise) but also increases distortion (as removes part of the signal also)
opposite of periodic
aperiodic
What does a finite total energy signal mean for power?
zero power
What does finite average power mean for energy?
infinite
Power=
energy/time
Reasons for incorrect sampling [3]
hardware problems
Cant sample that first
noise might cause highest frequency
How to fix incorrect sampling [2]
Use a really high frequency
low pass in time domain before converting to frequency domain
Difference between DFT and DTFT
DTFT has an infinite sum, frequency is continuous - DFT everything is discrete
DFT symmetric?
magitude is symmetric around fs/2 and phase is anti symmetric
