Wave Equations A = amplitude = max displacement from avg P = power = avg rate energy moves A2 T = period = time for one oscillation = 1 f f = frequency = # of oscillations / sec = 1 T = wavelength = length until wave repeats = speed of wave = f 9/23/2018
Frequency Response Graph Filter graphs: frequency vs. gain Gain (db) = 20*log(Vout/Vin) X-axis: logarithmic scale 3 dB point: output power (Pout) = 1/2 input power (Pin) Non-ideal behavior 3 filters High-pass filter Low-pass filter Band-pass filter 9/23/2018
Objectives Learn about vibrations, waves, spectra, and frequency filters Learn how to store and retrieve wave forms digitally Record and analyze wave forms of tuning fork, notes and voices for frequency, period harmonics, and power spectrum Identify filter 0, filter 1 and filter 2 as high-pass, low-pass or band-pass 9/23/2018
Procedure Capture and analyze wave generated by tuning fork Repeat with two different notes from keyboard Calculate amplitude, period and frequency for tuning fork and keyboard notes Record/playback song with different voices Fill out chart for filters 0-2 to determine which type of filter each corresponds to 9/23/2018
Report Questions Major difference between waveforms Each member’s songs similar or not Verify relationship between frequency and period Compare frequencies obtained from FFT spectrum and calculations Other applications using frequency filtering Plot frequency response of each filter Chart of tuning fork tone and keyboard note: amplitude, period, frequency 9/23/2018
