AIM: To record the voice and display it’s Power Spectral Density (PSD) in LabVIEW.
APPARATUS: LabVIEW installed software and Microphone.
THEORY:
More commonly used is the power spectral density (or simply power spectrum), which applies
to signals existing over all time, or over a time period large enough (especially in relation to the
duration of a measurement) that it could as well have been over an infinite time interval. The
power spectral density (PSD) then refers to the spectral energy distribution that would be found
per unit time, since the total energy of such a signal over all time would generally be infinite.

LabVIEW Simulation
Block Diagram:
The block diagram includes wires, icons, functions, possibly subVIs, and other LabVIEW objects.

Following are the blocks for the same:

Voice Recorder: The voice recording block helps in recording the audio through microphone or system in-built microphone.

Auto Correlation: This blocks auto-correlates the signal recorded by the microphone.

Power Spectral Density (FFT): This block performs the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the Auto-correlated audio signal and
then calculate the Power Spectral Density (PSD).
Front Panel:
The Front Panel relates and co-ordinates each component with the Block Diagram.

Following are the blocks for the same:

Control Unit: With the help of control unit, the sound recording and its characteristics can be controlled and manipulated.

Waveform Graph: The recorded audio waveform is displayed on this Graph Plot.

Waveform Graph2: The audio signal is auto-correlated and thereby the Power Spectral Density (PSD) is calculated and
displayed (in real-time).
