Revealing hidden information in sound waves

Phys.org   November 29, 2018 Sonar arrays are typically designed to record sounds in specific frequency ranges. Sounds with frequencies higher than an array’s intended range may confuse the system. Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a technique that will allow just about any signal to be shifted to a frequency range where sonar arrays are no longer confused. It mathematically combines any two frequencies within the signal’s recorded frequency range, to reveal information outside that range at a new, third frequency which is the sum or difference of the two input frequencies. The additional information could boost performance […]
