Notched-noise precursors improve detection of low-frequency amplitude modulation.
Amplitude modulation (AM) detection was measured with a short (50 ms), high-frequency carrier as a function of carrier level (Experiment I) and modulation frequency (Experiment II) for conditions with or without a notched-noise precursor. A longer carrier (500 ms) was also included in Experiment I. When the carrier was preceded by silence (no precursor condition) AM detection thresholds worsene...
متن کاملDetection of combined frequency and amplitude modulation.
This article is concerned with the detection of mixed modulation (MM), i.e., simultaneously occurring amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). In experiment 1, an adaptive two-alternative forced-choice task was used to determine thresholds for detecting AM alone. Then, thresholds for detecting FM were determined for stimuli which had a fixed amount of AM in the signal interval o...
متن کاملLow Frequency, Infrasound and Amplitude Modulation Noise from Wind Farms – Some Recent Findings
INTRODUCTION Recently, amplitude modulation, low frequency and infrasound noise from wind farms has been the subject of complaints, many different media reports and a Senate Inquiry in Australia. The Ministry of Environment of Ontario province in Canada, amongst many other regulators, has been considering a new policy on low-frequency infrasound noise from wind farms and commissioned a literatu...
متن کاملDiscrimination of modulation type (amplitude modulation or frequency modulation) with and without background noise.
These experiments compare the ability to detect amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) with the ability to discriminate AM from FM, using 10-Hz sinusoidal modulation of a 1000-Hz carrier. Initially, psychometric functions were measured for the detection of AM and FM alone, using a two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) task. In experiment 1, pairs of values of AM and FM were sele...
متن کاملDigital Quadrature Amplitude Modulation: Optimal Detection in Receiver Noise
where p(t) is a (typically real valued) pulse shape, and the ck are QAM symbols drawn from a finite collection of complex numbers called a constellation based on input bits to be communicated over the channel. Some example QAM constellations include 4-QAM (a.k.a QPSK){±1± j}, 16-QAM {±a± jb} with a, b ∈ {1, 3}, 64-QAM {±a + jb} with a, b ∈ {1, 3, 5, 7}, and 256-QAM {±a ± jb} with a, b ∈ {1, 3, ...
