Spectrograms
O Spectrograms can be used to identify
spoken words phonetically , and to analyse the various calls of animals. O They are used extensively in the development of the fields of music, sonar, radar, and speech processing, seismology
What is Multipath?
O When the transmitter and receiver are at different
locations, the analog of echoes is that the receiver hears the transmitter's signal, and then hears echoes caused by the signal traveling different (usually longer) paths. This is called multipath.
What is Multipath?

O Scaterring O Diffraction
Can be a challenging part of any remotesensing signal processing system, including radar, ultrasound, and sonar.
Figure : A ship is shown with a sensor array descending from it, an object is denoted in red (whale? dolphin? submarine?) and the object emits signal x(t), which under goes multipath. The total effect of the multipath is modeled as a channel with impulse response h(t). The ship sonar system receives z(t)=x(t)*h(t). (Inpractice, the ship really receives z(t)=x(t)*h(t)+n(t), where n(t) is some extra noise.)
Simulation multipath
If we call the line of sight signal x(t) Then the signal that bounced, received T seconds later, would be a*x(t-T) a:(between 1 and -1) accounts for the attenuation.
Simulation multipath
In MATLAB, we will represent this kind of continuous-time impulse response by sampling it with sampling interval Ts. Then the delay times T1..Tn are represented as multiples of the sampling interval, so for M samples:
(assuming we know Ts). O Ak will be 0 if there are no delay components corresponding to (k)Ts seconds. O A0 will be 1 for the line of sight signal.
Simulation multipath
Figure 5: This is an example of the impulse response for the multipath in a 50 meter water channel (for example, in a bay).
