Lab Module 1

The document describes Laboratory 1 which introduces Scilab programming through analyzing an audio signal file. Students are asked to: 1) Plot the audio signal in the time domain using provided code. 2) Perform frequency domain analysis using FFT and plot/describe the signal magnitude and frequency. 3) Compare the differences between the time and frequency domain signals.

Laboratory 1 – Introduction to Scilab


Programming
Objectives:
1. To introduce programming in Scilab.
2. To perform basic programming in analyzing audio file.

Introduction:
Scilab is an open-source software used for numerical computation, signal processing, data
analysis and plotting. In this laboratory, students are required to analyze a given audio signal in
both time and frequency domains.

Equipment & Components:


Audio file
Scilab Software

Task:
1. Before starting the Laboratory session:
I. Download the Scilab Software at https://www.scilab.org/download/6.1.0
II. Install the software in your computer.
III. Launch the Scilab Application
2. Tutorials are available but not limited to:
I. https://www.scilab.org/tutorials
II. https://www.scilab.org/tutorials/scilab-beginners-%E2%80%93-tutorial

3. You are given an audio signal file ‘sample_audio.wav’. You will be able to plot the signal
in time domain by using the given code below:

clf();
File = "put your file path location";
[y, Fs] = wavread(File);
y = y(1000:2000);
t = (0:length(y) - 1) / Fs;
subplot(211);
plot(t,y);
xlabel ("Time in Seconds");
title ("Original Signal");
ylabel ("Amplitude");

Result and Discussion:


1. Define what does each line of the coding do and show the plotted signal.
2. Perform frequency domain analysis by using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) functionality and
plot the signal. State the magnitude and frequency of the signal.
3. Compare the difference between signals in time and frequency domains.
