Aliasing Signals
Course Code: CPE 027 Program:
Course Title: Digital Signal Processing and Applications Date Performed:
Section: Date Submitted:
Name/s: Instructor:

1. Objective:
This activity deals with the manipulation of audio signals using ADC and DAC techniques, including the
inclusion of a programmatically developed aliasing filter.

2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):


After completion of this activity the students should be able to:
Differentiate the concepts ADC and DAC in terms of function and application.
Develop an application program exhibiting the functions of DAC and ADC..

3. Discussion :
In signal processing and related disciplines, aliasing is an effect that causes different signals to become
indistinguishable (or aliases of one another) when sampled. It also often refers to the distortion or artifact
that results when a signal reconstructed from samples is different from the original continuous signal.

Aliasing can occur in signals sampled in time, for instance digital audio, and is referred to as temporal
aliasing. It can also occur in spatially sampled signals (e.g. moiré patterns in digital images); this type of
aliasing is called spatial aliasing.

Aliasing is generally avoided by applying low-pass filters or anti-aliasing filters (AAF) to the input signal
before sampling and when converting a signal from a higher to a lower sampling rate. Suitable
reconstruction filtering should then be used when restoring the sampled signal to the continuous domain
or converting a signal from a lower to a higher sampling rate. For spatial anti-aliasing, the types of anti-
aliasing include fast sample anti-aliasing (FSAA), multisample anti-aliasing, and supersampling.

4. Resources:
The activity will require the following software, tools and equipment:

5. Directions:
1. Develop a program to extract data from the given wav files, snsd.wav and obama2.wav.

2. Capture the first few seconds of the audio signals and apply an aliasing filter to it.
3. Reconstruct the signal using a preferred DAC method.

3. Compare and contrast the two versions (original and aliased) using descriptive and statistical means.

4. Provide an analysis of the results.

6. Procedures

*Document EVERYTHING you did to accomplish this. Discuss why you did those.

7. Results(sample)

*Don’t forget to add a link of your ipynb file, csv, and image results.

8. Data Analysis
