S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Random Variable Random Event, s Real Number, a Random Variable, X Definition: Let E be an experiment and S be the set of all possible outcomes associated with the experiment. A function, X, assigning to every element s S, a real number, a, is called a random variable. X(s) = a Random Variable Random Event Real Number Appendix B Prob & RV

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Parameters of an RV Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of x Probability Density Function (PDF) of x x f(x) a b a F(a)

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Why are we doing this? Transfer Characteristic h(x) Input pdf f x (x) Output pdf f y (y) For many situations, we can “model” the pdf using standard functions By studying the functional forms, we can predict the expected values of the random variable (mean, variance, etc.) We can predict what happens when the r.v. passes through a system

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University PDF Model: The Gaussian Random Variable The most important pdf model Used to model signal, noise…….. m: mean;  2 : variance Also called a Normal Distribution Central limit theorem x f(x) m

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Normal Distribution (contd.) x f(x) m N(m,  1 2 ) N(m,  2 2 )  2 2  1 2 x f(x) m1m1 N(m 1,  2 ) N(m 2,  2 ) m 2 > m 1 m2m2

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Generating Normally Distributed Random Variables Most math software provides you functions to generate - N(0,1): zero-mean, unit-variance, Gaussian RV Theorem: N(0,  2 ) =  N(0,1) Use this for generating normally distributed r.v.’s of any variance Matlab function: randn Variance Power (how?)

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Recall: CFT Continuous Fourier Transform (CFT) Frequency, [Hz] Amplitude Spectrum Phase Spectrum Inverse Fourier Transform (IFT)

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Recall: DFT Discrete Domains Discrete Time: k = 0, 1, 2, 3, …………, N-1 Discrete Frequency:n = 0, 1, 2, 3, …………, N-1 Discrete Fourier Transform Inverse DFT Equal time intervals Equal frequency intervals n = 0, 1, 2,….., N-1 k = 0, 1, 2,….., N-1

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University How to get the frequency axis in the DFT The DFT operation just converts one set of number, x[k] into another set of numbers X[n] - there is no explicit definition of time or frequency How can we relate the DFT to the CFT and obtain spectral amplitudes for discrete frequencies? (N-point FFT) n= n=N f=0 f = f s Need to know f s

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University DFT Properties DFT is periodic X[n] = X[n+N] = X[n+2N] = ……… I-DFT is also periodic! x[k] = x[k+N] = x[k+2N] = ………. Where are the “low” and “high” frequencies on the DFT spectrum? n=0 N/2 n=N f=0 f s /2 f = f s

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Part 2: CFT, DFT and Sampling This is homework!!! t in ms w(t) V 0V

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Part 3: AM and FM Spectra AM s(t) = A c [1 + A m cos(2  f m t)]cos(2  f c t) FM s(t) = A c cos[2  f c t +  f A m sin(2  f m t)] t s(t) t

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Part 4(a): Composite NTSC Baseband Video Signal Black & White Analog Television Color Television

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Part 4(b): ECG Signals This experiment must be conducted with the instructor present at all times when you are obtaining the ECG readings. The procedure that has been outlined below has been determined to be safe for this laboratory. You must use an isolated power supply for powering the instrumentation amplifier. You must use a 10-X scope probe for recording the amplifier output on the oscilloscope. This objective of this experiment is compute the amplitude-frequency spectrum of real data - this experiment does not represent a true medical study; reading an ECG effectively takes considerable medical training. Therefore, do not be alarmed if your data appears"different" from those of your partners. If you observe any allergic reactions when you attach the electrodes (burning sensation, discomfort), remove them and rinse the area with water. If, for any reason, you do not want to participate in this experiment, obtain recorded ECG data from your instructor.
