Signals and Systems

Project

Objective:
This project aims to solve the unmixing problem of distinctly far apart frequencies using a filter.

Task:
Your task is to separate the given different sound waves. The zip file contains a starter code to
help through this project. This starter code:

• Generates two different sine waves s1 and s2

• Adds them together to give a sound wave s
• Fourier transform of s is estimated using the “fft” (Now, you know which frequencies
exist)
• Design a filter according (box function or low pass or high pass filter) in frequency or
time domain
• Use sound wave variable s to perform further operations of unmixing
• Generalize this above code to unmix any number of frequencies rather than separating
two frequencies

Attachments:
The zip file attached contains this project description, and starter code (demo.m) depicting the
Fourier transform of the added sine waves.

Deliverables:
1. Commented Code
a. separate the two frequencies shown in the code attached. One script file (you
can edit the demo.m file directly)
b. generalize the code to separate any number of frequencies distinctly far apart
from each other. One function file containing a function of separating
frequencies and one script file to call the function file.
2. Report (Not more than 3 pages or less than 2 pages)
