CT 111: Introduction To Communication Systems Lab 1: Figure 1

The document describes a series of experiments involving communication signals and filters: 1) Plots the frequency spectra of signals with different frequencies added together and observes the combined signal. 2) Modulates the signals from part 1 with carrier waves and plots the spectra, observing harmonics. Filters one modulated signal. 3) Filters a voice recording with low pass filters with different time constants and compares the results. 4) Implements a low pass filter on hardware and analyzes the output based on input duty cycle and frequency. Observes cutoff frequency. Compares results of higher order filters.
