Description
MATLAB exercise
Estimation of a random process with an FIR filter.
Part 1: Pencil and paper. Consider the following system:
d[n]
s[n] r[n] s_hat[n]
Å
We wish to design a filter h[n] to estimate s[n] from r[n] such that s_hat[n] is an MMSE estimate.
Assume that s[n] is an i.i.d processes which takes value +/-1 with equal probability for each sample. d[n] is a white, Gaussian noise process with variance s2 . c[n] is an FIR filter with impulse response of [1 .2 .4].
Find an expression for Rsr[n] and Rrr[n]. Rsr[n] is the cross-correlation of the observations R[n] anRrr[n] is the auto-correlation of the observations.
Set up and solve the normal equations (9.55 or 11.11 from the MIT notes) for N = 4. (Note that N is the length of the FIR filter h[n], not c[n]
Part 2: MATLAB
MMSE estimation: Simulate the system for filters of length N = 4, 6 and 10. Report the MSE of your results in a table.
