ECW-706 Assignment 2

1. Record the following phonemes at Fs=10,000Hz for 30ms. (You can record a longer file
and crop it later.

EH, AE ,AO , OW, P , T, K B, D

Now concatenate them to generate appropriate words. ( generate at least three

words).

2. Make a FIR lowpass filter for a cutoff frequency of 8000Hz using fdatool
3. Generate two 1kHz, and 5kHz sine wave for 5s at Fs=20000Hz. Listen to these waves on
your headphone. Now, superpose these waves, rescale the new wave between -1 and
1. Listen to this superposed wave. Using fdatool, generate a filter and separate the two
1kHz wave from 5kHz wave. Listen to the recovered wave.

4. For the complex signal x [ n ] =( 0.65+0.5 j )n u [ n ]Plot sample index n=1: 40 vs (a) Real
part, (b) Imaginary part , (c) Magnitude, and (d) Phase.

5. Consider a first order FIR filter

x[n] H(z) y[n]

y ( n )=x ( n )−ax ( n−1 )

H ( z ) =1−a z−1

For a= 0.6+0.4j plot the power response for the above filter for normalized frequencies.

6. Hamming window is given by the expression

2 πn

{
w ( n )= 0.54−0.46 cos
0 othewise
[ ]
N−1 0 ≤n ≤ N−1

Plot the hamming window for n varying from -100 to 100 with N = 20. Similarly draw the exponential
and rectangular window. Copy these plots to your practical file.

7. Consider the set of difference equations

y 1 ( n )= A y 1 ( n−1 ) + B y 2 ( n−1 ) + x ( n )
y 2 ( n )=C y 1 ( n−1 )+ D y 2 ( n−1 )
a. Draw the network diagram for this system.
b. Find the transfer functions
Y 1 ( z)
H 1 ( z )=
X (z)
Y ( z)
H2 (z )= 2
X ( z)
