0.2 [ mini-project ] ring modulation and pitch shifting

 Page 1 / 1
Create a LabVIEW VI to experiment with ring modulation (also called amplitude modulation, or AM), and develop a LabVIEW VI to shift the pitch of a speech signal using the single-sideband modulation technique.
 This module refers to LabVIEW, a software development environment that features a graphical programming language. Please see the LabVIEW QuickStart Guide module for tutorials and documentation that will help you: •Apply LabVIEW to Audio Signal Processing •Get started with LabVIEW •Obtain a fully-functional evaluation edition of LabVIEW

Overview

Ring modulation (AM) is an audio special effect that produces two frequency-shifted replicas of the spectrum of a source signal, with one replica shifted to higher frequency and the other replica to a lower frequency. Single-sideband AM (SSB-AM) provides a way to shift the source signal's spectrum higher or lower but without the additional replica. SSB-AM provides one way toimplement a pitch shifter , an audio special effect that shifts the frequency of speech, singing, or a musical instrument to a higher or lower frequency.

In this project, use LabVIEW to implement several types of ring modulators and a pitch shifter.

Prerequisite modules

If you have not done so already, please study the prerequisite modules AM Mathematics and Pitch Shifting . If you are relatively new to LabVIEW, consider taking the course LabVIEW Techniques for Audio Signal Processing which provides the foundation you need to complete this mini-project activity, including working with arrays, creating subVIs, playing an array to the soundcard, and saving an array as a .wav sound file.

Deliverables

• All LabVIEW code that you develop (block diagrams and front panels)
• All generated sounds in .wav format
• Any plots or diagrams requested
• Summary write-up of your results

Part 1: multiple modulators

Consider an original signal $x\left(t\right)$ , which is a sinusoid of frequency ${f}_{0}$ . The original signal is modulated by a cosine function of frequency ${f}_{0}/2$ to produce ${x}_{1}\left(t\right)$ , which is in turn modulated by a cosine function of frequency ${f}_{0}/5$ to produce ${x}_{2}\left(t\right)$ , which is in turn modulated by a cosine function of frequency ${f}_{0}/9$ to produce ${x}_{3}\left(t\right)$ . Sketch the frequency-domain version of the four signals, i.e., sketch $X\left(f\right)$ , ${X}_{1}\left(f\right)$ , ${X}_{2}\left(f\right)$ , and ${X}_{3}\left(f\right)$ .

Create a LabVIEW implementation of the above arrangement and plot the spectrum of each of the four signals. Compare your LabVIEW results to your prediction.

Part 2: multiple modulators with soundfile input

Create a LabVIEW implementation of the multiple modulation scheme of Part 1 that can process a .wav audio file as the input signal. Use controls for the three modulators that will allow you to easilychange their modulation frequencies. Experiment with various choices of modulation frequencies to make an interesting effect. Create two .wav files using different parameter choices.

Part 3: pitch shifter

Implement the pitch shifting algorithm based on the single-sideband AM technique discussed in Pitch Shifter with Single-Sideband AM . Use a design similar to that of "am_demo3.vi" provided at the bottom of the page of AM Mathematics which accepts a .wav file as input and plays the sound. The sound clip should be relatively short (on the order of several seconds). For this part of the project, do not implement the pre-filter; you will do this in Part 4.

Evaluate the quality of your pitch shifter by presenting some written discussion and suitable spectrogram plots. Especially indicate whether you can find audible and visual evidence of aliasing.

The fast Hilbert transform built-in subVI is available in the "Signal Processing | Transforms" pallet.

Part 4: pitch shifter with anti-aliasing filter

Modify your pitch shifter to include a bandpass filter. State how you will compute the bandpass filter's upper and lower corner frequencies, given that you want to preserve as much of the original signal's bandwidth as possible.

Evaluate the quality of your modified pitch shifter by presenting some written discussion and suitable spectral plots. Compare your results with those you obtained in Part 3.

A variety of digital filters are available in the "Signal Processing | Filters" pallet.

Optional part 5: real-time processor

Choose one of the previous LabVIEW implementations and make it work in real time with a signal input (microphone) and interactive front-panel controls.

Evaluate the interrupt-driven approach using an event structure (see "am_demo1.vi" described in AM Mathematics , as well as the polled approach used by mic_in_speaker_out.vi ). Use whichever technique you prefer.

Submit your finished LabVIEW implementation as a distinct .zip file.

Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net

Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes

how to know photocatalytic properties of tio2 nanoparticles...what to do now
it is a goid question and i want to know the answer as well

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology
NANO
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
