Module 8: Digital Signals 07/16/2014 Binary Representation We typically consider numbers in decimal, base-10 Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here 39512 = 3 10000 + 9 1000 + 5 100 + 1 10 + 2 1 Binary is a numeric system with base-2 Value of any digit (or bit) can either be 0 or 1 Each digit is a power of 2 rather than a power of 10 16 8 4 2 1 1 1 0 1 0 + 1 8 1 16 + 0 4 + 1 2 + 0 1 = 26 A byte is a set of 8 bits 3
Module 8: Digital Signals 07/16/2014 Ascii 8 bits (1 byte) that represent an alpha-numeric character Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here 4
Module 8: Digital Signals 07/16/2014 Digital Sampling Ascii uses binary values to represent characters Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here Binary values can also represent a numerical value Binary Form Decimal Form Character 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 4 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 16 31 00110001 = "1" 00110010 = "2" Value 00000001 = 1 00000010 = 2 5
Module 8: Digital Signals 07/16/2014 Digital Sampling To convert an analog signal into a digital representation: Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here Discrete Time samples Discrete value amplitude Sampling Range Sampling Resolution Sampling period 6
Module 8: Digital Signals 07/16/2014 Nyquist Sampling Theorem Reconstruction of a signal is possible when sampling Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here frequency is greater than twice the maximum frequency of the signal being sampled Human hearing can recognize frequencies up to 20kHz What is the typical sampling rate for audio? 44.1kHz Digital Storage Example: How much space is needed for 70 minutes of music with 16 bit resolution? bits channel 60seconds minute 2 channels 16 44.1kHz 70 minutes = 5,927,040,000 bits 7
Module 8: Digital Signals 07/16/2014 Digital Logic Logic devices generate high and low output values Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here that correspond to high and low input values X Y Z 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 AND NOT NOT Y 1 0 X 0 1 X X Y Y X Z Y Y Y = ~X Z = X & Y X Y Z X Y Z 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 XOR OR 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 X X Z Z Y Y Z = X | Y Z = X ^ Y 8
