Session F2E Signals and Systems Using MATLAB: An Integrated Suite of Applications for Exploring and Teaching Media Signal Processing

چکیده
Effectively teaching introductory media signal processing (MSP) to students requires a means of communicating complex concepts without advanced mathematics. At the Media Arts and Technology program at UCSB we are teaching graduate media arts students concepts of MSP. These students, while interested in learning how their digital tools work, have an incredibly tough time working through the material the way traditional engineering students do. To address this we have used MATLAB to build a comprehensive suite of exploratory demonstrations and applications tailored to illustrate sophisticated concepts, and to inspire students that may not possess a strong background in mathematics. Our application, “Signals and Systems Using MATLAB ” (SSUM), is presented here, and its use in a course designed to teach MSP to media arts students is discussed. Its usefulness extends beyond media arts to engineering and computer science curriculum. SSUM can be obtained for free from http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/ ̃b.sturm.

Grid Impedance Estimation Using Several Short-Term Low Power Signal Injections
In this paper, a signal processing method is proposed to estimate the low and high-frequency impedances of power systems using several short-term low power signal injections for a frequency range of 0-150 kHz. This frequency range is very important, and thusso it is considered in the analysis of power quality issues of smart grids. The impedance estimation is used in many power system applicati...

Some of the more subtle concepts related to digital communication systems such as signal constellation imbalance, intersymbol interference, pulse shaping ramifications, and performance with in-band interference are quite difficult for most students to grasp from a textbook or lectures alone. This paper describes an inexpensive approach to providing a real-time, hands-on laboratory experience fo...

متن کاملAn Android Application for Estimating Muscle Onset Latency using Surface EMG Signal
Background: Electromyography (EMG) signal processing and Muscle Onset Latency (MOL) are widely used in rehabilitation sciences and nerve conduction studies. The majority of existing software packages provided for estimating MOL via analyzing EMG signal are computerized, desktop based and not portable; therefore, experiments and signal analyzes using them should be completed locally. Moreover, a...
