REAL TIME SIGNAL PROCESSING

PROJECT 1
Room Acoustics.
31611

The goal of this project is to understand how to model the acoustics of a room using DSP methods given such
parameters as: room size, room composition, room shape, and the location of the sound source and listener.
The goal of the project is to implement a system like the one given in Fig. 1.
 
   
 
  




Figure 1: Conceptual system to be implemented

A signal is sent from the PC to the DSP, which implements the transfer function H() of the room, which is
simulated. The transfer function H() is implemented in the DSP, first as a FIR filter, and then as an IIR filter.
The project includes:

Recording of the acoustical transfer function of an auditorium.

Implementation of H() in Matlab as a FIR filter and its characterization.
Implementation of H() in the DSP as a FIR filter, with the possibility of interactively playing back a
signal sent from a PC.
Developing of an ARMA model of H(). Implementation of the filters in both Matlab and the DSP.
