Summary Of Objectives

• To provide a general framework for characterizing single-input, single-output linear systems.
• To explain and demonstrate how to measure the impulse response of a linear system using Golay codes.
• To explain some of the limitations of making measurements using standard sound interfaces.
• To demonstrate how to find the minimum-phase spectrum corresponding to a complex spectrum.
• To explain how to measure the impulse response of a system even if the excitation source motor is weakly nonlinear. This measurement technique uses a sine sweep test signal.
