Module-3: Filtering the Communication Signals
The main aim of this module is to study and gain the knowledge of filtering the communication
signals in both time domain and frequency domain.

Skilling Objectives:

(a) Convolution of two signals.

(b) Generation of Additive White Gaussian Noise and its power spectral density.
(c) Noise eliminating using Average Filtering technique.
(d) Noise suppression using convolution-based filtering technique.
(e) FFT-based filtering technique for Noise suppression.
(f) Filtering effects on communication signals.

3.1 Introduction:
Linear and time invariant LTI systems are particularly important classes of systems has
significant signal processing applications. These systems satisfy both the linearity and time-
invariant properties which is desired properties for real time applications. The processing of
signals in time domain through continuous time (or Discrete time) systems are usually referred
to as convolution or filtering operation.

The processing of signals using convolution leads to computationally intensive for long data
records. On the other hand, processing operations in the frequency domain are much faster
because of two reasons:
(i) by taking advantages of property of FT: i.e., convolution of two signals in time domain leads
to multiplication in the frequency domain, which is simple operation than convolution,
(ii) faster algorithms are available for computing FT due to technological development.

The filtering techniques used in this project are illustrated briefly in the following figure.

3.3 Noise: Electrical noise is defined as undesirable electrical energy that falls within the pass
band of the signal. For example, in the transmission of RF signal, any unwanted electrical signals
that fall within the audio frequency band of 0 Hz to 15 kHz will interfere with the music and therefore
be considered as noise.

Let denote a noisy signal. Then the values of noisy signal are unpredictable and only a

probability can be associated to them, . The most common type of noise found in
a communication system is Gaussian with PDF

where Mean value , and Variance

The noise analysis in communication system is based on an
idealized for of noise process called white noise. If the noise

is additive, then mean value . The power spectral

density of this noise is considered to be independent of
frequency. Fig.1 White Noise power spectral density

The power spectral density of the white noise process is represented as

.
 Digital Coomunication 22EC2208, KLEF Deemed to be University, A.P., India. AY 2023-24

and the factor ½ has been included to indicate the half of the power is associated with the
positive frequency and remaining half of with the negative frequencies as shown in the figure

3.4. Filtering the communication signals: The signals are usually corrupted by
unwanted noise and undesired frequency components while acquisition. Hence it is desired to
filter or suppress the undesired signal components and noise. Filtering the signals can be done
both in time domain and frequency domain.

3.4.1: Time domain filtering: Convolution operation discussed in section 3.2 is also referred
to as filtering in time domain. Another time domain filter is known as average filtering is
illustrated below,

3.4.1(a) Averaging filter: The averaging filter is used in smoothing random variations in data.

An averaging filter is defined by , where is the duration

of the moving average window. or in discrete time

code and observe the results.

x = sin(2*pi*600*t); %original signal

% Listen the sound

% sound(x,Fs); pause
% sound([x x x x x x],Fs);

Suppose now this signal is corrupted by an additive White Gaussian noise

(AWGN) with variance of 0.1. In Matlab, the following commands are used to
generate noisy signal. (Refer the appendix-A for noise).

v =.01; % Noise variance

r = sqrt(v)*randn(size(x)); %noise
xn = x + r; %signal plus noise (filter input)

Average Filter:

By taking the average of the signal for n-point values, the noise will reduce. The
following Matlab code is used with n= 3.

ya = zeros(size(x));
for n=3:length(xn) % 3 point averaging filter
ya(n)=sum(xn(n-2:n))/3; %y[n] is the filtered signal
end

Now plot the signal and observe the denoised signal. The following Matlab code
is used to plot the signals.

Task PA1 Time domain filtering: Perform both time domain filtering (averaging filtering and
convolution operation) techniques.
Noiseless case: Consider the signal is not degraded further by noise.

1. Speech signal: The speech signal has frequency components in the audio frequency
range 20 Hz to 20 kHz of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the reason for perceiving
the information present in the speech signal by human ears. Since sound signals are
represented as vectors in MATLAB, you can do any mathematical operation on the sound
signals that you could do on elements in a vector. In other words, you can create your own
sounds with MATLAB scripts and functions.

To record data from an audio input device (such as a microphone connected to your system)
for processing in MATLAB:

(a) Create an audiorecorder object.

(b) Call the record or recordblocking method, where:

 record returns immediate control to the calling function or the command prompt even as
recording proceeds. Specify the length of the recording in seconds, or end the recording

with the stop method. Optionally, call the pause and resume methods. The recording is
performed asynchronously.

 record blocking retains control until the recording is complete. Specify the length of the
recording in seconds. The recording is performed synchronously.

(c) Create a numeric array corresponding to the signal data using the getaudiodata
method.

(d) The recorded data can be listened with play or sound command

(e) Recorded real time speech signal can be saved with save command in different formats
and also load and display to obsever basic parameters of the signals.

(f) Different properties of recorded speech such as BitsPerSample, BufferLength,

SampleRate, TimerPeriod, TotalSamples can be observed by using Matlab command.
