3.4. Discussion:
This lab was about signal manipulation involving convolution and moving average filter. The
convolution of two signals/vectors, u and v, represents the area of overlap under the points as v slides
across u. Algebraically, convolution is the same operation as multiplying the two vectors or signals in
Laplace domain. A moving-average filter is a common method used for smoothing noisy data. A moving-
average filter slides a window of length window size (w) along the data, computing averages of the data
contained in each window. In task 1 and 2 two discrete time sequences were generated in task 3 convolution
was performed between two signals. In task 4 a sequence was corrupted with a noise generated by using
rand() command to generate random sequence. In task 5 a moving average filter was implemented to filter
the noise from corrupted signal. In task 6 FFt of original and filtered signal were compared.
3.5. Conclusion:
This lab helped us know how to manipulate different discrete time signals and to there frequency plot to
better know the difference between original and manipulated signals. Three main MATLAB functions were
used i.e., rand (for random sequence generation), conv (for convoluting two signals) and filter (to design a
moving average filter by give the transfer function of the filter to the function filter()).
